Eugene G. Grace, president of Bethlehem Steel Corporation from 1916 to 1945 said: \u2018Thousands of engineers can design bridges, calculate strains and stresses, and draw up specifications for machines. But a great engineer is the man who can tell you whether the bridge or the machine should be built at all, where it should be built, and when.\u2019 <\/p>\n
Asking why<\/i> before how<\/i> forces you to think about your core motivations and the source of your vision. There is much talk these days about \u2018purpose\u2019. And that\u2019s a good thing, because a life of purpose is more rewarding than a life of popularity or power. But your purpose must come from God. <\/p>\n
\u2018Thus says the Lord of hosts: \u201cDo not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They make you worthless; they speak a vision of their own heart, not from the mouth of the Lord.\u201d\u2019<\/i> When God is the source<\/i> of your vision, He will resource<\/i> it. That\u2019s why the most important question you can ask is not, \u2018What\u2019s the best way to do this?\u2019 but, \u2018Why am I doing it at all?\u2019 <\/p>\n
Ultimately God will make the final ruling on what you have given your life for. \u2018Each one\u2019s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one\u2019s work, of what sort it is. If anyone\u2019s work\u2026 endures, he will receive a reward. If anyone\u2019s work is burned, he will suffer loss.\u2019<\/i> (1 Corinthians 3:13\u201315 NKJV)<\/p>\n
