We find it easy to think of the management as careerists,
self-serving and disorganized. Sometimes this is true, but are we deceived? Are
they really that way? What concrete proof do we have other than feelings,
unsubstantiated thoughts and hearsay? Could we list those things on paper and
back them up in a court of law? Or are we perhaps deceiving ourselves?
I did not want to work from a deceived heart. If I held
people to be wrong in my estimation I did not what myself to be wrong. I wanted
to hold those wrong whom God knows to be wrong. For this reason I needed to
pray to God, “Please work in me to rid deceit from my mind, my heart, my
spirit. I wish only to entertain the truth. Lord, please counsel me about what
I should think of this job. I am often depressed about it. Should I look for
another or should I learn contentment here? Please show me directly and put
people in my way to give me good counsel. When I view my authorities here at
work should I try to see you in them? You in the big boss, you in the sub-boss,
you and in the administrators? Or should I want the customer as the ultimate
boss? When I go to them, please be with me to show me what I should see and
hear. Please help me to make the correct observations and correct judgments
about them. Please help me to have an open mind about what happens and what is
said. Please help me to spend my time and resources wisely for the beneficial
effect of your Kingdom.
