TRUSTING GOD THROUGH YOUR BUSINESS JOURNEY
"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland." Isaiah 43:19 (NIV)
Dear Christian Entrepreneur,
Have you easily forgotten the miracles of our Almighty God? Have the challenges of business caused you to lose sight of His power and provision? Let me remind you: God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He is the One who made a way in the wilderness for the Israelites, provided streams in the desert for the thirsty, parted the waters of the ocean for His people to cross on dry land, and turned water into wine at the wedding in Cana.
We live in times where one can be easily consumed by the pressures of the market, the demands of clients, and the uncertainties of the future. But amidst it all, God remains faithful. He has not forgotten you, nor has He abandoned His promise to make a way for you in your business ventures.
This is our reality in Christ. Through Jesus, we have God's attention. He is intimately involved in every aspect of our lives, including our businesses. Your work matters to Him, and He sees the efforts you pour into your endeavors. Even in the moments when it feels like you're toiling in obscurity, God is watching over you with love and care.
God is not distant or indifferent to your struggles. He is actively working behind the scenes, orchestrating events for your benefit. Though you may not see it now, He is doing a new and good thing for you. Just as a seed planted in the ground takes time to grow and bear fruit, so too will the plans God has for you come to fruition in due season.
So while you wait, reflect on the times when God intervened miraculously in the lives of His people. Remember how He led them through impossible situations, demonstrating His power and love. Just as He did in the past, He is still at work today, orchestrating events for your success.
Trust in His timing, for He knows the plans He has for you—plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). Even when the path seems uncertain and the challenges seem insurmountable, remember that God is with you. He is working behind the scenes, aligning circumstances for your benefit.
Prayer for the Day:
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your unfailing love and faithfulness. Help me to remember Your past miracles and to trust in Your provision for my business ventures. Strengthen my faith, Lord, and guide me in Your ways. May Your will be done in my life and in my business. In Jesus' name, Amen.
