In 1945, Truett Cathy and his brother scraped together enough money to open a restaurant named “the Dwarf Grill”. But only three years into their promising business, Truett Cathy’s brother died in a plane crash.
Despite being heartbroken, Cathy forged ahead and eventually opened a second restaurant,. But tragedy struck as this new branch soon burned to the ground — and there was no insurance for rebuilding. Shortly after, Truet Cathy faced a series of health issues that involved surgeries and a long road to recovery.
But in his darkest hour, when he was facing his greatest obstacles and setbacks, Cathy received the idea and inspiration for a new way of making sandwiches for his restaurant.
After his recovery, he began to apply this new idea in making sandwiches.. The innovation turned into an extraordinary success and became what is known as the Chick-fil-A sandwich which attracted new customers and led to opening of more locations.
Eventually, Truett Cathy’s business grew to become a billion dollar business with more than 1,800-restaurants. Today. Chick-fil-A is one of the top 3 fast food chains in the world.
Truett credited the turning point and success of his company to his decision to put God first in everything he did. Truett Cathy was a devout Christian, who taught Sunday School in his Church for more than 50 years and gave generously towards the spread of the Gospel. He always saw the Bible as his guide-book for life.
Despite the great challenges he faced, through his faith in God, his diligence and dedication to his work, Truet Cathy eventually became very successful.
To be outstanding in life, we must give total diligence to our vision and keep pressing forward despite setbacks.
It is true that success is our birthright as believers, but we must be willing to fight the necessary battles to attain our glorious destiny.
As we remain diligent and unrelenting, our
gifts and callings will bring us before great men.
However, it takes understanding of God’s ways to actualize our dreams.
We need a strict compliance with God’s Word to keep overcoming the challenges that try to hinder our progress.
God’s success formula is found in Joshua 1:8 which says that when we meditate day and night in His Word and observe to do what is written therein, then we will be prosperous and have good success.
Good understanding of the Word attracts God’s grace and favor which elevates and promotes us to outstanding heights.
Throughout the Scriptures, those who greatly succeeded in their endeavors were those who walked in strict obedience to God’s Word and were diligent in their assignments.
Jesus, our Saviour set for us the example of working diligently. He said in John 9:4 ‘I must work the works of him that sent me,’
Then in John 5:17 He also said ‘The Father worketh hitherto, and I work’
If God the Father and Jesus are diligently working, then we have no excuse for not intently pursuing our calling.
In this season, as we seek understanding of God’s Word and diligent pursuit of His work surely His grace will lift us to the topmost heights in our field of endeavors and bring us before kings and great men.
PRAYER: Lord I thank You for granting me the grace to diligently seek Your Word and pursue Your calling for my life. As I do, I thank You for bountifully releasing Your blessings of grace, mercy and favor upon me in Jesus Name.

When God places His hand upon a man in life nothing can come against him, this is because the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. WORDBITE 222.
