“Thou shalt guide me with Thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory” (Psalm 73:24).
He stood before them and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, I believe our company has been blessed by having the brightest and most devoted board of directors found in corporate America. Take a moment to spontaneously share with each other what drives and motivates you. Say it in just one sentence.” One by one the members of the board of directors spoke. Some spoke of being driven. Others spoke of wanting “just one more.” Some spoke of living life to its fullest. Then it was the turn of one of the youngest who had been appointed to the board. He quietly said, “God guides me with His counsel and someday will receive me to glory according to Psalm 73:24.” He smiled and waited for the next person. The President stopped in front of him, took off his glasses, and said, “Wow! Thank you.” It was quiet for a little while in the board room. What great opportunities opened for the young member of the board to share with others!
