Executive Vision - A Word in the Marketplace

The face of our nation was changed on Tuesday, September 11, 2001 from the horrific Attack on America. One of the results, the normalcy of business as usual in the marketplace was simply halted. So many questions and matters ...grief, death, payroll, benefits, real estate, rebuild, safety, security, war... tomorrow?

Decisions will be made. It can no longer be business driven by arrogance as usual in the marketplace. As executives, our pride must bow to God. We must seek His counsel and even repent of our arrogance and ask for His forgiveness so that we can hear His voice clearly -- others are depending on the decisions we make. Some employers are mourning human loses, business losses... faced with the task of evaluating and the issuance of benefits to the family member(s) of the deceased, hospitalized and even those missing. The paradigm is someone has to man the marketplace. Someone has to carryout the directives; someone has to give the direction.

God is and will always be in control. His wisdom, strength and counsel concerning the affairs of man, family, business and the church has not changed. He has not changed. His voice remains the same. He is the voice of counsel and wisdom in the marketplace – yes, even in our time of devastation, His Word is in the marketplace. It is critical that the executive decisions communicated are first and foremost placed before God.

As a leader in the marketplace, you may not have felt that you should or would even be in a place of indecision – because of the many victories and trophies of your victories garnered based on your ‘right decisions’. Yet, today, you are face to face with other's or your own hesitancy, weakness of heart, sorrow, frustration and even hopelessness. God is your refuge and hope not only in time of trouble, but He gives counsel daily. He is not refutable and is steering the course for those who will allow him to be the ultimate authority in matters of world affairs, economy, our destiny and purpose.

The World Trade Center signified a ‘financial power’ of our United States of America. Yet, our power has been penetrated leaving a sense of vulnerability. The eyes of the world are upon America: it is not a sign of weakness, because leadership chooses to seek the counsel of God in times of trouble but also daily matters of the marketplace.

Leaders, today, begin or continue to seek out sound full gospel based guidance. And, you will get a Word in the marketplace.
