---

 "Where there is no vision, the people are unrestrained - happy are those who keep the law"
— Proverbs 29:18 (NASB) 

This verse illustrates that w/o a clear vision, people not only lack direction, 

but determine their own way and w/o out anything to reign them in. 

The impact to a business financially and relationally both internally and externally cannot be underestimated

 "The plans of the diligent lead surely to advantage, but everyone who is hasty comes surely to poverty."
— Proverbs 21:5 (NASB) 

 God calls us to be diligent and purposeful.  One way we do this is in business is by streamlining & optimizing efficiency, 

practicing wise stewardship of the resources entrusted to us. 

 "But all things must be done properly and in an orderly manner."
— 1 Corinthians 14:40 (NASB)

Efficiency reflects orderliness cited in Scripture. Streamlining operations 

ensures your company functions smoothly, honoring God through excellence.

"Know well the condition of your flocks, and pay attention to your herds;"
— Proverbs 27:23 (NASB)

Monitoring and improving efficiency in your business demonstrates responsible stewardship. 

Maximizing efficiency makes the most of the resources God has provided.

"For which one of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and calculate the cost..."
— Luke 14:28 (NASB)

Strategic planning equips you to wisely and effectively respond to both opportunities and challenges.

"Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men,"
— Colossians 3:23 (NASB)

Enhance your company's efficiency because it's wise and because it's a reflection of 

your very best effort and commitment to what the Lord has blessed you with.

 "...God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good "
— Genesis 1:31 (NASB) 

This verse in Genesis along with those that precede it illustrate that God performs His work with specific intention and with order. 

We should do no less in every pursuit, especially our work and when employing others.

"By the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made. "
— Genesis 2:2-3 (NASB)

For a Christian, streamlining your company is not a way to accumulate more, but to position yourself

to truly enjoy the fruit of your labor, while also honoring His commandment to rest.
