My “tent making” is a consulting practice, where I assist corporate clients to improve leadership, strategy and culture. One of these clients is a Christian business owner, whom I’ve reminded to be an “ambassador of reconciliation” in the spirit of 2 Corinthians 5:11-21. I’ve pointed out that while his worldly position is that of a CEO for a privately held firm, he is spiritually in position as a “Christ centered problem solver” throughout his sphere of influence.  One day he called me in exasperation. My client’s day had started as a “friendly fire victim” trying to mediate a dispute between his wife and teenage daughter.  Then he arrived at work just five minutes too late to referee two employees – both high performers – who don’t like each other, and constantly bicker at workin a way that disrupts and demotivates colleagues. Then that afternoon he led a Board meeting for his industry’s trade association, in which three competing “political factions” refused to even consider “common ground” they need to find before scheduling an upcoming trade show. My client felt completely defeated by the day’s experiences, and said he was ready to “fire” himself as an “ambassador”. I listened empathetically, having lived through this many times myself.  While we’re always in position spiritually as ambassadors of reconciliation, we’re not always positioned to act in the moment. Sometimes we need to “wait on the Lord” (Psalm 27:14), and waiting is hard when we want action and progress. Can you relate? Here’s a beautiful piece of worship music that speaks into this tension.
