Word of the Day: Proverbs 16:23
"The heart of the wise makes his speech judicious and adds persuasiveness to his lips."
Proverbs 16:23
Today I set out for a big day. A 2nd meeting with a very significant customer for our family business. Someone who's size could triple our sales. As I knew I would be heading into corporate politics needing to persuade a multitude of people why our services are good for them, I read Proverbs this morning and heard the Lord whisper this verse to me, then I prayed:
"Lord, grant me persuasive speech today to win them over. Lord, cause me to give you all the glory when it happens and Lord I ask that you would turn their hearts toward us today. Lord I want to be successful in your eyes and Lord I pray today that you provide success according to your riches."
When the day started, the welcoming was not in my favor, but as the day went on I clung to this verse like a promise and continued to pray that the Lord would add persuasiveness to my lips. And now having finished the day, I can say YES he did it. The meetings went better than I could have hoped, and I can look back and see the Lord's hand on today.
What an exciting way to live this life,
Blessings,
Rob
