Weekend Takeaway


This weekend Pastor Heather spoke on the Parable of the Vineyard. The summary of the parable goes like this: one worker worked a full day and the worker that only worked for one hour got the same amount of pay. The conclusion was that God is not fair but He is extravagantly generous. I have two take aways from the message:


1. Sideways energy will kill your success- when the worker who worked all day found out what the other guy got payed he became bitter and his relationship with his boss was hindered. (this can happen both horizontally and vertically)

2. We are on a need to know basis- when companies grow, certain information is only privy to a certain number of employees. This is to try to control the amount of "sideways" energy so that everyone can focus on their specific jobs. Even though at time we don't act like it, I think we can all agree that God does a very good job at being the CEO of His creation. Let's allow Him to play that role as we stay focused on the specific plan he has for us. This will breed great fruit in your everyday life.

So..keep your radar out and be aware of yielding to sideways energy! Keep your eyes fixed on the goal ahead and remember at times, you are on a "need to know basis".
