Biblical Answer

Finding Purpose Beyond Business

When we lose our business, it can be a devastating experience. We may feel as though we have lost our sense of purpose and direction. However, the Bible teaches us that our purpose is not found in our business or career, but in our relationship with God. As Psalm 20:4 says, "May he grant you according to your heart's desire, and fulfill all your purpose." This verse reminds us that our purpose is not something that we can achieve on our own, but it is something that God desires to fulfill in our lives.

Making Our Own Purpose

So, how can we make our own purpose when we are no longer in business? The Bible teaches us that we have the ability to choose our own path and make our own decisions. We are not at the mercy of circumstances, but we have the power to create our own purpose. As the verse says, "we make our own purpose. We make our own joy." This means that we have the ability to choose how we respond to situations and how we live our lives. We can choose to focus on God and His purposes, even in the midst of uncertainty and change.

Living with Purpose

Living with purpose is not just about achieving a certain goal or outcome, but it is about living a life that is pleasing to God. When we lose our business, it can be easy to get caught up in feelings of frustration and disappointment. However, the Bible teaches us that we can find joy and purpose in the midst of difficult circumstances. As the verse says, "we are here by a cosmic accident, but its a wonderful privilege to be here." This reminds us that our purpose is not just about what we do, but about who we are and how we live our lives. We can choose to live a life that is focused on God and His purposes, even when our business is gone. By doing so, we can find joy and fulfillment in the midst of uncertainty and change.
