Proverbs 29:18 (AMP) Where there is no vision [no redemptive revelation of God], the people perish; but he who keeps the law [of God, which includes that of man]--blessed (happy, fortunate, and enviable) is he.
This verse has often been presented as a reason to have a personal or corporate vision. No denying the importance of those conclusions. But what is fundamental here concerns God and his revelation to man and by extension, developing both a personal and corporate vision (or purpose statement) that recognizes God's revelation. More to the point here is that if God is not brought into the affairs of humans, if God's Word is not part of how a person thinks about his affairs, if God is shut out from a person's living, “people perish!” What a powerful incentive for Christian business leaders. Who is better equipped to express Christ-like behavior in the workplace? Who is better equipped to express the “redemptive revelation of God” to the marketplace? When focusing on what God is doing you are used for a purpose greater than just work: companies are transformed - lives changed. Are you a blessing in the marketplace?
