As we put our dreams and vision on paper in a business plan this year, there are two things which can definitely help us succeed: faith and the spirit of gratitude.
As a businessman, you need to remember that God's will is the best for us. God has three answers when we pray: Yes, Not Yet and I have something even better for you. 2018 is the year of abundance and gratitude. If you are grateful for every little thing, God will provide you with even bigger things.
Here are 3 Bible verses you need to read right now:
1 Thessalonians 2:12 (NIV)
"... Encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory."
No matter how far we've come and no matter how successful we are right now in our business, we must always seek God's light and love.
1 Timothy 6:12 (NIV)
"Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses."
Faith is important in a business as well as in our lifetime happiness. It is important that we know and acknowledge what God has done for us. He died on the cross for our sins to be forgiven.
II Corinthians 12:9-11 (NIV)
"But he said to me, my grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong."
Do not be weak when problems arise in business or in your life. It is normal and this is the time when God wants us to learn something and that He wanted us to lean unto him for strength.
