Faith

An interesting thought occurred to me the other day.  Here’s the scenario:

You’re the head of Human Resources for an international company.  The company president is in need of a personal assistant, and has made you fully responsible for filling the position, and will except whomever you choose.  Age and gender are irrelevant.  The person need only meet certain skill requirements.  Because the candidate may need to prepare documents at a moments’ notice, he or she must be able to type a minimum of 65 words per minute.

You’re reviewing applications and resumes and you come across one that gives you pause.  The candidate:

Name:   Yahweh Elohim  [Translation (not completely accurate I’m sure):  I am God]

Date of birth:   The beginning.

Most valuable attributes:  Eternal; Unchanging; Impassable; Infinite; All-powerful; Everywhere-present; All-wise; All-knowing; Simple; Self-existent; Self-sufficient; Good; Gracious; Merciful; Just

Employment history:   Creator of the universe

   Creator of man and woman

   Alpha and Omega

   Lord of Hosts

   Lord of Lords

Typing skill:   35 words per minute

Quite naturally there’s a lot going through your mind:  WOW!!  If I can bring God on board as the assistant, I’d be able to write my own ticket in this company.  But his typing is way off! 

What will he look like? Will he be too old for the position?  Will his other responsibilities interfere with his work?  I bet he’s arrogant! He’ll probably use some sort of mind control power on me! If he’s hired will the company think they don’t need me anymore? Should I ask him about my future or why he allows suffering in the world?

You’re sitting at the conference room table, waiting to interview Yahweh Elohim.  The door opens, he walks in, and he’s not at all what you expected.  No old man with flowing white hair and beard.  He truly made man in his own image!!  The man in front of you:

Height:    about 6’3”

Age:   late 40’s early 50’s

Skin color:   dark cocoa (Idris Elba)

Body type:   powerful chest and arms (Michael Jai White)

Walk:   brotha strut (Barack Obama) with smooth glide (Denzel Washingon)

Hair and beard:   dark brown, cut close and neat around sensual lips (Morris Chestnut)

Eyes: light hazel (Terrance Howard)  – as if they can’t go dark because of a light from within him 

His stare:  both draws you in and captivates you (Khalil Kain)

His smile: lights up his face and the entire room (Taye Diggs)

*Need a minute to lower your heart rates? LOL*

Back to the interview:

You choose the professional route.  After an extensive question and answer period, you get around to his typing skills.  You tell him they’re way below the minimum required.  With a chuckle he acknowledges the truth in that, but assures you he’ll be able to complete any document in plenty of time.

Decision time: You like him! But, could the typing prove problematic? WHAT TO DO?!

I know there’s some HR person out there thinking: “God or not he doesn’t meet the requirements, and it could cost you your job if he can’t get something done and the President discovers he can only type 35 words a minute!  Tell him you’ll keep his resume on file.”

There is just as likely someone else out there thinking:”You had the audacity to interview God?  You should have hired him just because he’s God.  You were lucky he didn’t strike you down with a lightning bolt!”

Still, some of you may not be sure what to do.  You want to make the right decision for the company.  You don’t want to offend God.  And you’re not sure you can accomplish both.

I say hire him! (LOL…not just because I described eye candy!)  I got one word for you: FAITH.  Hire him on faith.  His employment history is impressive.  Surely the Lord of Lords could get a letter done!

If you need more assurances open a bible! You know how people post a lot about themselves on facebook?  Well think of the bible as God’s facebook page.  There is so much information about him in that one resource.  In it, you’ll find countless tales of him accomplishing unbelievable tasks, and coming through just as promised.  You’ll find stories about people like yourself, who had an opportunity to talk with him, and were forever changed by the encounter.

Yahweh Elohim, hired on faith, will never let you down.

Faith! Do you have it?
