Business Unusual

by Bernard Smalls, Author of The Lemonade Principle

Promotion sometimes comes when you least expect it. You go through the blood, sweat and tears, and all of sudden; CHEERS! The reason for this is because, in the invisible unseen world, you are moving closer to your day of promotion, as long as you keep the right mental and spiritual attitude, whether you feel like it or not. If you engage in consistent action, and think and speak positively, you are getting closer to promotion every second that you live. The day that Joseph was promoted was probably just "business as usual." I don't think that he woke up thinking, "today is the day that Pharaoh will call on me to come out of this dungeon and give him strategic wisdom for the future of Egypt because of my tactical acuity. I better get my new suit, white shirt and red power tie out of the cleaners. It's show-time baby!" No, it was just another day in jail. Cleaning up, killing rats, breaking up fights, and wondering what those dreams of years gone by meant and how they would come to pass. I bet the dream had started to fade by now, but it never died.

1) Expect good things as you go through your daily routine today.
2) Do things in way that honors God.
3) Approach your routine tasks as business unusual....
