How To Climb To The Top In Your Organization

8/24/2022

1 Sam. 17:32-33 - David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail on account of him; your servant will go and fight with this Philistine." 33 Then Saul said to David, "You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a youth while he has been a warrior from his youth."       NASU 
​
  • The Best Way To The Top 
Do what no one else is willing to do.
 
That is exactly what David is going to do in this text. He is going to go out and fight Goliath. There wasn't one other Israelite soldier willing to do what David was going to not only try, but accomplish.
 
If you want to get to the top of your company or organization it is quite simple "do what no one else wants to do or is willing to do." The soldiers were afraid and fears of all types handicaps people. Don't be afraid. Accept the challenge as David did and move forward.
 
If you want to become the leader of your team then go and do what no one else on your team is willing to try.
 
David becomes a hero because he was willing to step up and step out and accept a challenge. He will later become the king because he was known as a person who got things done. 
  • What Is Hindering You From Getting To The Top? 
What challenges are before you today? What challenges are others staying away from because of fear? They are being held back from accomplishing something great simply because they are afraid to try.
 
Identify what it is that everyone is avoiding and go tackle this task. People will ask you, "Why are you doing this?" Some may even tell you to "Quit because you are making them look bad."
 
All I can say is the way to the top is do what others are avoiding. 
  • It Paid Huge Dividends For David 
1 Sam. 17:25 - "…And it will be that the king will enrich the man who kills him with great riches and will give him his daughter and make his father's house free in Israel." 
 
David was promised riches, the king's daughter's hand in marriage and his family would be free from taxes. All he had to do is accomplish what everyone else was avoiding (fighting and killing Goliath) and that is exactly what he did. 
  • David Had A Game Plan 
You will notice that David didn't try to fight Goliath where Goliath would have been able to use his strength. He didn't get into hand to hand combat against Goliath. That would have put David at a great disadvantage. He didn't fight Goliath where he was strong. He fought him at a distance.
 
Goliath's great strength was negated because David never got close enough to him so that his strength could be used. Instead David rocked Goliath's world and then he moved in closer. When David gets close Goliath is already defeated. David then takes Goliath's sword and cuts off his head.
 
David did what no other Israelite soldier was willing to try. It won't be too many years from now and David will be in charge of the entire Army and Kingdom of Israel.
 
What unconventional method will you use to accomplish your task? Look outside the box when encountering a new adventure.
 
We all know the definition of insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results. 
  • Dividends Do Not Always Come Immediately 
In David's case his reward was immediate. The reward he was really after wasn't all the money, fame and riches. He wanted this uncircumcised Philistine to quit blaspheming his God and this he got as soon as Goliath was killed.
 
You may be doing the little things already that no one else is willing to do. Many times this will not be a one and done. You may have to do them over and over again.
 
In life you want to do what is right not because you think you will get some reward but because this is the right thing to do.
 
Think About These:

A man without principles never draws much interest.
 
It's easier to follow the leader than lead the followers.

Stay Pumped,
