I used to work for a company and I was a trainer. There were four weeks training and at the end of it you got the keys to your company car.
It was a good deal since you could drive it for your personal use too.
We had a company meeting and the manager gave an old, what I call a blood and guts speech. We had a young man who had just finished training was about to get his keys the company car. This was quite an accomplishment.
The manager had emphasized that the company came first. He suggested that no matter what it took, “the job was to be done.
It sounded like the job took top priority. After the meeting the young man walked up and handed his keys to the company car to the manager and said he was quitting. The manager was dumbfounded and asked why. The young man said God is first, my church second, my family is third, and the company is so far back there I can’t even see it in my rearview mirror.
Well, I have forgotten a lot of people who came through the company training, but I’ll assure you that I never forgotten that young man. I still admire him and his principles today! We need something that we believe so strongly in that we would die for it! God has to be first and He accepts second from no one’s life!”
