Walking And Talking With God – Growing On!
14. Growing on Now it’s time to make these words your own. Ev’ry time I feel the spirit, Movin’ in my heart, I will pray. (traditional) For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. For who what human being knows what is truly human except the human spirit that is within? So also [...]
Walking And Talking With God – Revelation
6. New Testament Walkers and Talkers vii. Revelation Thinking It is an awesome task to comment on the book of Revelation, and I sense that it is not my role here other than very briefly and superficially. Together with the book of Daniel, this must be the purest example of hearing God’s voice – and [...]
Business Praise 31. Growth – Manufacturing
We’re very proud of our factory people. They are the life blood of our business. And have won many awards for high standards of quality. Customer service, environmental friendliness, Self-managed work teams, quality of product. Safety, the list goes on. What is the product in your business, Lord? And where is it made? “You are [...]
Business Praise 32. Growth – Priorities
I seem to have a conflict of priorities. I can’t be in two places at the same time. Both appear to demand my presence With cries of “lack of support” from their sponsors. This doesn’t seem to be your problem, Lord. Your divine omnipresence solves that easily, But your humanity understands my position. How do [...]

[2] There’s [...]
Business Praise 35. Growth – Planning
Today, I went to a planning meeting, Lord. We evaluated where we are at, And tried to forecast the future. It all took a lot of time As we tried to pick our way through a maze of options. Some we will get right, but mistakes are inevitable. Our track record shows that well! For [...]
Business Praise 36. Growth – Business Travel
Here we go again. Another business trip! Early start to the airport, one hour flight, Taxis, four appointments, meal, and return. Same day this time, But I know all about hotel rooms. Business travel is required for people contact. Phone and letters, even video conference don’t make up for the personal touch. They miss the [...]
Business Praise 37. Growth – Retreat
We went on retreat recently – our team. There was a need to stand back, to reflect, And to let our individual reflections kindle intuition and discernment in each other. It was a powerful exercise in team building, too, For each knew that we together knew, that we were on the same road – in [...]
Business Praise 39. Growth – The Merger – Coping
Lord, my company is merging with another. Our head office will move to a different city. It makes sense from a business point of view, But we are human. And I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve. I’m over the stun now – mostly, And my principal emotion is nostalgia. Friends and colleagues [...]
