Biblical Answer

Can I still have a sense of purpose without my business?

Yes, you can still have a sense of purpose without your business. In fact, the Bible teaches that our purpose in life is not found in our business or career, but in our relationship with God. Psalm 20:4 says, "May he send you help from the sanctuary and support from the Edomite mountain from the holy and glorious name." This verse suggests that our purpose is not in the things we do, but in the One who gives us the strength and ability to do them.

According to Esther Reed, "Our purpose is not in our work, but in our relationship with God." This means that our sense of purpose is not tied to our business or career, but to our faith and our walk with God. In fact, the Bible teaches that our purpose is to serve and glorify God, not to seek our own interests or gain. As Os Guinness says, "The main business that you are here for is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever." This means that our purpose is not found in our business or career, but in our relationship with God and our desire to serve and glorify Him.

In the absence of a business or career, we can still find purpose in our relationship with God and in serving others. As Guinness suggests, "We make our own purpose" and "we make our own joy" by living a life that is directed towards God and His purposes. This means that we can still have a sense of purpose without our business, and in fact, we can find even greater purpose and joy in our relationship with God and in serving others. By surrendering our understanding of our ways to God and allowing Him to take us into His purpose for the world, we can find a sense of purpose and direction that is not tied to our business or career. 27.
