How to Make Winning a Guarantee (Business Devo)

Scripture Reference:John 11:1-44 (Jesus Raises Lazarus from the Dead)Subtitle:Jesus waited to visit his sick friend Lazarus, teaching us to value the process not just the result. There's purpose in the process.Summary:In this business devotional, we look at the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. Upon learning Lazarus is sick, Jesus waits two more days before going to see him, because he loved Lazarus, Mary and Martha. This shows us God's timing is strategic, even when it's hard for us. As parents, we allow our kids to struggle so they can grow. Similarly, God allows difficulties because through them we gain wisdom and character.The episode encourages us to value the process, not just the result. Like Michael Jordan obsessively practicing basics daily, we should find joy in doing the hard work, not just celebrate fleeting wins. Most of life is the journey, so learning to enjoy the process of achieving goals makes us happier. Next time you face frustration in pursuing a dream, remember God is growing you, so see the blessing in the delay. Don't just endure trials - lean in to gain as much value from them as possible.Top 3 Growth Tips:[2:55] Struggle builds greatness.
