Discovering the "Good Way" Together

Yesterday we touched on “the good way” where we can learn the “way of excellence” and reflect God’s glory in the marketplace. To learn the “way” and actually know how to live it out, let’s consider Jesus. After all, He said He was the way and invited us to take on His yoke, His set of teachings of the ancient “way”, and learn from Him.

If we are to take on His yoke, that means that He wants us to know what He knows and we can begin by becoming a serious student of the Bible, His Word. Have you ever thought of the Old Testament as a place to study business? Have you ever looked at Genesis, for instance, and looked for practical applications to business? In Genesis, we learn about passing on the inheritance of the heart. Chapters 6 and 7 give us an excellent model for strategic planning.

Spend a couple of weeks in Genesis 1 and ask the Holy Spirit to teach you the application of the creation story to business. When you see that God created the heavens on day 2, study out all the references to heaven and heavens to see what they speak of. You will learn that they are the seat of His authority. Wait till we get to the land and sea. They explode with meaning and practical application.

What haunts me more than anything, is knowing that what I write today will appear dim in the light of future revelation. But it is the light I have and you’re invited to join me as we together discover the “good way”. And when you have a perspective that might help us corporately, please post those insights to the blog so that we might, together, become like Him.
