Which came first, the chicken or the egg? We have all heard this idiom. And in business, it could not be truer. 

Knowing what steps should come first and discerning priorities is cumbersome and can be overwhelming at times. We are bombarded with choices and opinions. Too many possibilities have the potential to distract from making progress in any one area.

Ecclesiastes 8:5 says, “Whoever obeys his command will come to no harm, and the wise heart will know the proper time and procedure. 

There is a truth we can trust beyond a shadow of a doubt. Truth is found in the word of God. And when we follow the commands as the book of Ecclesiastes suggests, we can be certain we have wisdom to face whatever comes our way.
