TRANSCRIPT:
I have a great insight from this morning’s phone call with Men Living For Greatness, and Chris shared something that I thought was very simple but very profound. And I’ve experienced this myself, and I wanted to share with you. And that is that when we put our holy hour first in the day- the very first thing- and we have that sense, maybe, if you’re like me, that “I’ve got so many things to do, maybe I’ll push it to later in the day when it’s more convenient.”
But if we resist that temptation and we make that holy hour first, it’s an act of faith, right? It’s an act of trust that we’re making in God to give him the first moments of our day. And that act of faith that everything else in the rest of the day will fall into place and be taken care of is a great opportunity for us to learn and to grow and to enter into that area where maybe (in secular thought) we feel like is a risk, but it’s actually faith in God.
And if you’re the kind of business person who maybe thinks about ‘ROI’ like I do, I think you can also rationalize it. “Hey, if I give God the first moments of my day and I delay everything else and I trust in him, He’s probably going to take care of me and solve things that I couldn’t solve on my own.”
I hope this has been helpful for you. I know it’s a simple thing, but it’s a meaningful thing. And it might be a way for us to help share with other men who have not yet made that commitment to a morning holy hour of why they should. Have a great day.
