A group of CEOs who met monthly invited me to visit their group. The host CEO of that meeting gave us permission to interview his “number two” person to learn about the inner workings of his business.
During that session, we learned that our host was involved in a kickback, but his motivations to rapidly grow his business had blinded him to his illegal activities. Eventually the group helped him clearly see his sin. He confessed, apologized to his staff and ceased the kickbacks.
Proverbs 21:2 teaches, “A person may think their own ways are right, but the Lord weighs the heart.”
Our ways can seem right to us when we are blinded by our desires. Trusted friends, however, can help us see what God sees and hold us accountable.
