Jerry joined a new company division that pursued growth by offering products outside of the company’s traditional business lines. But excitement about this new initiative got ahead of results.

Jeremiah writes in 17:10: “I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind, to reward each person according to their conduct, according to what their deeds deserve.”
God offers grace and mercy when we are obedient to his call on our lives and work. His blessings are beyond what we can imagine, but we still are expected to be prudent and diligent to experience maximum fruitfulness.
