“Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.” Psalms 25:5 NIV
When given a task to do, it’s always vital to clarify what the expectations are. These expectations become the truth for that project. Anything outside it is unwelcome.It’s the same when you first start a new business. Every industry has truths that, when adhered to, lead to success. It’s the hope of success that helps you consistently follow those truths.The exceptional work you’ve been empowered to do also has its truths. And the best way to do it right is to:
Understand them.SubmitBe teachable.
As the giver of the assignment, God has the truth and the roadmap for it. What better way is there to achieve success other than to submit to His guidance?
How can we ensure that the truth we adhere to leads to success in our work?
Truth is the foundation of everything we do. You act the way you do because there are some truths you were raised with.However, the presence of truth is not enough. You must find it and know about it.You must also understand what you claim to know. You may know a car but not understand how it works. Assimilating the truth gives you the confidence to defend it anywhere because you know what and why. But even this isn’t enough.Nothing gets manifested physically until you apply the truth. The right application of the truth that you understand and know is wisdom. And wisdom compounds over time.Success in our work comes when we go full cycle…
Finding and acquiring the truth (knowledge)Assimilating the truth (understanding)Rightly applying the truth (wisdom)
So, as you pray for the wisdom that brings success, remember to ask for understanding and knowledge. You can’t do without them.
“To do exceptional work and succeed, I must know, understand and apply these truths…”
It’s easy to think we know all that’s required to do our craft, but this exercise will send you on a quest to search out more truths.It’s a never-ending quest that leads to a lifetime of learning and experimentation. Ensure you have fun with it.
