Business planning while waiting for Pentecost

‘…It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority ‘ (Acts 1:7)

From Acts 1:1-11 (Year A: Ascension Thursday)

Trust and patience each sit uneasily with modern-day business planning. We may try to programme every minute, every day and every week identifying key objections, performance outcomes and strategies to deliver. However, it is not for us to know the time or dates of the day ahead. Of course we need to make plans. But, everything is tentative, uncertain, provisional. Our lives are in the hands of a loving God as we wait, pray and break bread with the disciples in the upper room.
