真正的競爭優勢

A REAL COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE

在商業和專業領域中,我們一直在尋找具有競爭力的優勢。我們總是不停在探索可以用來幫助自己在競爭中佔有優勢的資產,諸如嶄新的想法、具有卓越技術和能力的員工,以及產品、服務、營銷的獨家商機等。不久之前,有人提醒我另一個大多數人從沒想過的競爭優勢。


湯姆是我一位來自建築業的朋友,他曾投標一個很大的建築計畫,認為這個計畫對他的公司來說至關重要。他大量禱告,懇求上帝讓自己得標。他覺得上帝會明白這對他的事業有多重要,並幫助他得到合同。因此,當他的競爭對手被選中時,他感到非常沮喪。

 

起初,湯姆非常失望,甚至對上帝發怒,不明白上帝為什麼沒有回應他的禱告。他被忽略了嗎?幾個月後,他終於明白了原因。透過一位業界的朋友,湯姆得知那項標案最後成為了他競爭對手的財務災難。

 

那些湯姆以為上帝並未回應的禱告,其實是非常明確的答案。上帝很清楚如果湯姆公司的投標被選中,這個建案將會成為多大的災難。上帝保護他免於承擔可能會害公司破產的建案。正如一首西部鄉村老歌的歌詞所說:「有時上帝最美好的禮物就是我們認為『未被回應』的禱告。」

 

很多時候我們深信某個計劃或決定是正確的,後來卻發現結果與我們的期許南轅北轍。我已經數不清這種情況在我的生活和職場中發生過多少次了。這就是為什麼經驗教會我要信任上帝,而不是我對某特定情況的有限理解。

 

詩篇24篇1節教導我們:「地和其中所充滿的,世界和住在其間的,都屬耶和華。」對我而言,這句經文不只是在論述萬物的所有權而已。它也提醒我們上帝是王,用祂最美好的旨意統管萬有,包含我們的生意。有時候,上帝的帶領和我們的禱告、祈求未必相同。

 

在這瞬息萬變且充滿變數的時代,為了實現目標而評估自己應該或不當做什麼,似乎比過去任何時候都困難。然而,相信上帝無所不知、最終掌權的信心,可以讓我們得到平安,並將我們每一天生活和工作中發生的所有事情都交託給祂。箴言3章5-6節大概是我所知道對工作最偉大的建言之一:「你要專心仰賴耶和華,不可倚靠自己的聰明,在你一切所行的事上都要認定他,他必指引你的路。」

 

有時上帝會按照我們所希望的方式回應禱告。但其他時候,就像我的朋友湯姆一樣,祂的回答和我們預期的完全不同。但無論如何,我在多年靈性旅程中學到的是,即使結果是未知的,上帝的回應永遠是我們最需要的。

 

我們要記住一件事,正如另一句箴言提醒我們的那樣:「人心籌算自己的道路;惟耶和華指引他的腳步。」(箴言16章9節)。這是一個無可相比的”競爭優勢”!

回應與問題討論

  • 在你的企業或組織中,你可以得到的最大競爭優勢是什麼?

 

  • 在充滿不確定性的商業和專業領域中作計畫、做決定時,除了禱告,你還會採取哪些策略?

 

  • 你曾否為工作上重要的決策,或是能成功簽下新客戶或合同禱告?若有,當這些禱告看似毫無回音,或事情的發展和預期天差地別,你有什麼想法?

 

第四、你認為能透過禱告向上帝尋求智慧和引導,算是「競爭優勢」嗎?
