Aim for Success without Compromise
I had a gentleman in church, a faithful member, come to me one day and say, “Pastor, I got a job.” I knew he had been looking for a job. He was very skilled in the area of sales and landed a great job with a great paycheck. And there was also a lot of room to make a lot more money through his sales. He would get a commission on top of a very fat salary. Then, he said to me, “But, Pastor, I just quit.”
I was surprised to hear this. We had been talking and praying together, but so soon after he got the job, he quit. He went on to say:
“After I took the job, they told me how to make the presentation. And I went to the boss of the company, and I said, ‘We are misrepresenting this product. You are having me say some things about it to the customers that aren’t true.’
“And the boss said, ‘You got a problem with that?’ And I said, ‘Yeah, actually, I do because it’s making me a liar. I know these things aren’t true, and you know these things aren’t true. Yeah, you are going to sell a lot of product if you represent it that way, but it’s wrong.’”
The boss then said to him, “If you want to work here, this is the way we do it. Otherwise, there’s the door.” So he took the door. He told me, “Pastor, I quit. I wasn’t going to violate my conscience.”
He put his trust in the God of much more. It wasn’t long before he had a better job with better pay where he didn’t have to lie to people.
Friend, whatever we compromise to keep, we will eventually lose.
You do not have to compromise to succeed. God is able to give you much more. Don’t violate your conscience; don’t violate your principles. Don’t be like David in his choices surrounding Bathsheba. There are consequences to that. Instead, look to God. He can give you much more.
