Biblical Answer

What Will Happen to My Business?

Understanding the Uncertainty of Business

As a business owner, you may be facing uncertainty about the future of your business. You may be worried about the what-ifs, such as whether you'll be able to make enough money, or if something will happen to your loved ones, or if your business will fail. These fears can be overwhelming and may cause you to doubt your ability to succeed. However, as a Christian, we believe in the sovereignty of God, who is in control of all creation, including the business world. We can trust that God has a plan for our businesses, even if we don't fully understand it.

Examining the Flaws of Business

As we examine our businesses, we may find that there are flaws that need to be addressed. These flaws can be internal, such as our own character or actions, or external, such as the actions of others or the market conditions. We may be tempted to cut corners or take shortcuts to increase profits, but this can lead to a loss of integrity and a damaged reputation. We may also be tempted to focus on short-term gains rather than long-term sustainability, which can lead to a decline in our business over time.

Seeking God's Guidance

As business owners, we must seek God's guidance and wisdom in our decision-making. We can pray for discernment and wisdom, and seek the counsel of trusted advisors and mentors. We can also examine our motivations and actions, and ask ourselves if they align with God's values and principles. By seeking God's guidance, we can avoid the pitfalls of business and build a successful and sustainable business that honors God. Ultimately, our success is not just about making a profit, but about building a business that reflects God's character and values. By seeking God's guidance, we can trust that He will lead us to a successful and fulfilling outcome.
