Today in the One Year Playbook we see a person who had everything that the world could offer. He had Wisdom and Wealth beyond anything you could ever imagine.
" Then I applied myself to the understanding of wisdom, and also of madness and folly, but I learned that this, too, is a chasing after the wind."
Ecc 1:16
GREAT LEADERS REALIZE GOD MATTERS
Job experienced what it was like to lose everything and he remained faithful to the end.
In the end God rewarded him with 140 yrs., doubled his wealth and had children to the fourth generation.
On the other hand Solomon acquired everything and was unfaithful. Solomon realized it was all vanity and empty.
Solomon became a bitter cynical person and hated life.
Isn't it interesting how Job got stripped of everything and ended up having a fulfilled joyful life in the end. Solomon had everything but was miserable and bitter in the end.
GREAT LEADERS REALIZE GOD MATTERS
Friends, a life without God becomes cynical and useless. Next time you go to Las Vegas look at all the retired people with nothing to do but play slots. They have their retirement but their life is so empty and lonely. They just keep putting coins in the slot machine and pushing the button. Even if they win it isn't good enough.
The only Fulfilled Life is to live our 70 years for the one who created us. Let's find our purpose in life and give it everything we have.
GREAT LEADERS REALIZE GOD MATTERS
Just Go!!
