CONCLUSION AND LESSONS FROM HOBBY LOBBY
BE PATIENT: We need to have the patience with our businesses, also need to make sure we all are doing the right things, we should not expect overnight success. God is certainly capable of giving us overnight success, but He is more interested in our commitment. His timing is sure. Pls40:1 “I waited patiently for the Lord; And He inclined to me, And He heard my cry”
BE WILLING TO SACRIFICE: Most times we may need to let go of something we love if we want our God-given dream to come true. God’s goal is not to see how low He can take us in our lifestyles, but He will test our hearts at times to see our reaction. We need to be willing to give up our earthly “treasure” for His will. John 15:12-14
FOLLOW THE SCRIPTURES: if you pay close attention to what he says about his business principles, you can see how closely it is tied to Scriptures. From paying good wages, elimination of debt, and being bold about his faith, it is clear the Bible is his foundation for the way he runs the business.
RELY ON PRAYER: David Green prays a lot. His team relies on daily prayers to determine their path. God is the only one who knows the future and therefore they seek His face in everything. This is the greatest resource we have as Christian business owners and leaders. We need to be committed seeking God’s guidance through prayer. Prayer is the key that opens all doors. Psalm 145:18
LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES: I know this is supposed to be common, but I have not found it to be that common. Too often, we are guilty of repeating our mistakes. David Green when asked about learning opportunities, he talked about how his company almost lost it all when they stretched too far for growth. Provs 24:16
PLAN FOR THE FUTURE: David Green and company also made sure to set goals and budgets for the future. I have heard many managers and leaders claim that forecasting and budgeting is too difficult given today’s uncertain business climate. I simply disagree, that does not mean we should not even try! despite the uncertainty, there is a huge value in laying out the budgets and forecasts and the game plan to back them up. Jer29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
BE BOLD ABOUT YOUR FAITH: A Christian business is not one made up only of Christians. Instead, it is a business in which the leadership or ownership sees the eternal need in all of us, and seek to share it with the One that will meet that need! Hebs11:1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”
TRUST IN GOD: Absolute dependency on God. When you trust God, and you follow His lead regardless of the apparent consequences. David Green made decisions against the advice of people around him. That is trust! Provs3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct] your paths”.
