subject: God's Organizational Chart [print this page] I asked, How in the world did you work for a couple of decades for an organization that had a weak leadership structure? Why didnt you just blow a fuse or go on tilt? Oftentimes you knew much more than the leadership did. I will never forget what he said to me. It is always best to discover Gods organizational chart and to put yourself beneath it. When you do that, things always go the best. Today, my friend is working for one of the top organizations in his field in America. And I truly believe that he is where he is today because of the loyalty lessons that he learned years ago and because he got beneath Gods flow chart, His chain of command.
Ed Young says, everywhere we turn in this life we see Gods structure. We see this organizational chart. God has placed, for example, doctors in authority over their patients. He has placed attorneys in authority over their clients. He has placed coaches in authority over players, teachers in authority over students, pastors in authority over church members and so on. So if I am going to influence others with integrity, if I am serious about integrating this character quality into my life, I have got to understand Gods organizational chart. That is why the Bible boldly claims in Matthew 5:16, Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works The corporate world says show me before you tell me. Dont just tell me. .they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven. That is what the Bible says about how we work and how we fit into this organizational structure.
In a couple of days I am going to have a physical, as I do regularly. When I walk into my doctors office, I am under his authority. I can ask him questions, I can get him to explain things but at the end of the day it is a trust issue. If I dont trust him, I can go to another physician.
Let me give you a little hypothetical situation. What if you could walk down the typical hall of the typical office in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area? I am sure that at first glance everything would be looking good.
