Problems and Pearls

A fellow had just been hired as the CEO of a large high tech corporation. The CEO who was stepping down met with him privately and presented him with three number envelopes. "Open these if you run up against a problem you don't think you can solve." he said.

Well, things went along pretty smoothly, but six months later, sales took a downturn and he was really catching a lot of heat. Almost at his wit's end, he remembered the envelopes. He went to his drawer and took out the first envelopes. The message read, "Blame your predecessor." The new CEO called a press conference and tactfully laid the blame at the feet of the previous CEO. Satisfied with comments, the press responded positively, sales began to pick up and the problem was soon behind him.

About a year later, the company was again experiencing a slight dip in sales, combined with serious produced problems. Having learning from his previous experience, the CEO quickly opened the second envelope. The message read, "Reorganize." This he did, and the company quickly rebounded.

After consecutive profitable quarters, the company once again fell on difficult times. The CEO went to his office, closed the door and opened the third envelope. The message said, "Prepare three envelopes."

Sometimes there are difficulties in life that we can handle, but there is hardship that can onle be dealt with bu allowing others to carry it with you.

If you are carrying some burdens in life that weigh you down and you done all you can to fix it to no avail, maybe, you haven't tried everything?

Maybe you haven't tried surrendering it to God.

Here at the Feast today, learn that He carries your burdens for you.

Surrender your problems to God and allow Him to turn them to pearls.
