Commit to the Work
In the complex dance of business, where control often feels elusive, embracing the balance of faithfulness and surrender can transform your leadership journey. By committing your work to a higher purpose, you align your efforts with enduring values, allowing you to navigate market shifts and leadership challenges with renewed freedom. Remember, your role is to show up and give your best; the rest is divinely orchestrated.
George B. Thomas
Life, and business, is a dance between faithfulness and surrender. You and I get up every day with tasks in our hands, projects on our desks, and dreams in our hearts. We strategize, we plan, and we hustle. But here's the truth: no matter how hard we work, there are always variables out of our control. Markets shift. Clients hesitate. Opportunities vanish.
That's where Proverbs 16:3 breaks in with piercing clarity: "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will be established."
The word commit in Hebrew paints the image of rolling a burden off your shoulders onto someone stronger. Think about that: you're carrying the weight of deadlines, the pressure of quotas, the desire to succeed, and God says, "Roll it onto Me." That doesn't mean you quit working. It means you work with freedom because the outcomes are no longer yours to carry alone.

What You Plant Is What You Lead
In leadership, every thought and action is a seed with the potential to either flourish meaningfully or leave you hollow. The challenge lies in choosing to nurture patience, empathy, and authenticity over ego and shortcuts. True leadership strength is found in surrender, aligning desires with a higher calling, and leading from a place of peace rather than pressure.
Ask. Seek. Knock.
