March 12

A business executive had three boxes on his desk labeled INCOMING, OUTGOING and UNDECIDED. The latter usually contained the most papers. Then he added a fourth box which he labeled WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. When faced with a particularly tough problem he would prepare a memo and toss it into this box.

Then he would go on to other matters, believing that in the proper time he would receive God’s guidance. The six-word affirmation on the box positivized the man’s attitude and kept reminding him that possibilities existed. Even though a decision was not clear, this thinking challenged him to discern and finally realize those possibilities.
