But
thanks always be to God. He leads us to victory in the Christ, and raises
through us a fragrance of incense that shows everyone His glory. (2 Corinthians
2:14)
What do your people believe in? What gives
them confidence in your organization’s ultimate success even when times are
hard? Is it your intellect, experience, track-record, wealth, or have you
explained to them that the Lord is your source for all things?
Paul says, “in every triumph, be sure God
gets the thanks, the praise, and the glory.” Some modern sports figures show
how this looks after big wins. Occasionally, one will say, “First, I want to
give thanks to Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior.” Could you do this in your
organization? In your big wins, and even when struggling? Could you explain the
basis of your vision and values statement in terms of God’s calling on your
life and your desire to bring honor and glory to Him? If so, you will be
raising the fragrance of praise that leads people to see God’s glory. For this
reason, your story is very important. That story must be told if you will lead
your people to Jesus.
Direct
your people to the Lord as their hope, and lead them to give praise to Him in
all things.
