Kodak is an iconic American
company just like Kleenex and Coke. For nearly 100 years it was synonymous with
photography. In 1975 Kodak invented digital photography, but they decided that
the old technology of using film cameras was good enough. They were making lots
of money. Why change? Recently the Eastman Kodak company filed for
bankruptcy. They let their competition take their idea and they never caught
up.
This is a great lesson in
that we sometimes we must stop something while it is successful. In order
change to something new and more successful before the old model declines and
dies. We can begin what God wants us to do before something stops working.
Wisdom from Proverbs
19:21 tells us, Many are the plans in a person’s
heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.
I (or we’ve) never done it
that way before are the dying words of many people and churches. God is always
doing a new thing! Are you following His plan?
Be wise today and always – be
about God’s purposes.
