Profitable businesses today, constantly desire to meet and exceed customer expectations. They want to provide the best possible services to customers, all the time. With the increased usage of e-commerce and social media, it is almost seamless for people to people transactions to be done globally. Round the clock, there is business as usual.
With the advent of artificial intelligence (AI), the websites you frequently visit can be tracked to know your tastes and preference. This helps corporations predict what their prospective clients want by understanding their online behaviour. The corporations want to provide goods and services in the best possible way, so they are always in a vantage position. Government services are not left out from this trend. In USA for instance, automated tracking systems are used to provide improved health and security systems to better serve the populace.
I am intrigued at how human systems are constantly making efforts to build an improved globally integrated system to serve one another better. However, I am overwhelmed that I have a father who knows the beginning, the end and everything in between. I like the way apostle Paul salutes Him in 1 Timothy 1:17 “Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen” (KJV), this echoes his adulation for Jesus in Colossians 1:16 where he says “For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:” (KJV).
It is not just the fact that all accounts show that Jesus is the master of the universe that overwhelms me, but the fact that He went the extra mile to give himself for me, so I can be called his brother and he is proud of me (Hebrews 2:10-14) – awesome wonder! On the basis of this reality, scripture says “God is always on the alert, constantly on the lookout for people who are totally committed to him.” (2 Chronicles 16:9a MSG). For God, this is business as usual. His ceaseless and matchless performance exceed and transcend what any human socio-economic community can anticipate or provide at their best.
We have the mind of Christ and if we continually align our thoughts to His, we will constantly be in business as usual – being kingdom ambassadors, who constantly meet and exceed expectations in both physical and spiritual matters.
“Spiritually alive, we have access to everything God’s Spirit is doing, and can’t be judged by unspiritual critics. Isaiah’s question, “Is there anyone around who knows God’s Spirit, anyone who knows what he is doing?” has been answered: Christ knows, and we have Christ’s Spirit” (1 Corinthians 2:15-16 MSG)
“Whatever I have, wherever I am, I can make it through anything in the One who makes me who I am” (Philippians 4:13 MSG).
