Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx
As a manager, Angela advocated that “it’s easier to ask forgiveness than to get permission.” Her team loved the mindset of acting first instead of working through a bureaucracy to get approval to move.
Effective business leaders find ways to move through or around risks that might stop others. But that penchant to act shouldn’t exclude consulting God for his guidance.
Isaiah 58:11 describes the benefits of seeking God’s direction: “The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.”
We can be well served when we have a proclivity for action. But we shouldn’t let that drive move us ahead of God.
