Episode 23 - Let Go and Let God: A Businessman's Revelation
Manage episode 477389753 series 3654030
The sacred period between Passover's first and last days holds extraordinary potential for personal transformation—if only we recognize it. Rather than sleepwalking through these intermediate days as though they're ordinary, small adjustments to our routines can unlock tremendous spiritual growth. Whether leaving work earlier, taking a longer lunch break, or carving out extra family time, these conscious modifications acknowledge we're in a season designed for elevation.
Trust in God brings unexpected practical benefits, particularly freedom from exhausting travel for income. When someone believes their livelihood depends entirely on their own efforts, they'll chase opportunities across continents, enduring physical and emotional strain. Yet this necessity to travel for work often stems from deeper spiritual dynamics—either as atonement for past mistakes or fulfillment of a divine mission related to charity or commandments incomplete in previous existences. By developing genuine trust, we open alternative pathways that align with both our material needs and spiritual wellbeing.
A revealing personal story demonstrates this principle: two business shipments from China yielded opposite results based on my approach. The critical, time-sensitive order I obsessively micromanaged arrived frustratingly late despite constant follow-ups. Meanwhile, the routine shipment I barely thought about arrived perfectly on time—first delivery of the day. This wasn't coincidence but divine communication: our desperate grip on control often becomes the very obstacle to success. Those with "eyes to see" recognize these patterns as invitations to greater trust. When we surrender outcomes while fulfilling our responsibilities, life unfolds with remarkable efficiency. The question becomes: are we willing to notice these messages and adjust our approach accordingly?
What area of your life might benefit from loosening your grip and trusting more deeply? The results might surprise you.
