Bible Verses For Your Business

As many of you know, Dusty and I have done network marketing (MLM) for many years now. We have recently opened a screen printing business. So I started looking at bible verses to encourage us along our entrepreneurial journey. Running a small business (brick and mortar or MLM) can take a big toll on you, spiritually and physically. 

You will have a long road ahead of you. You will be tested, stretched and stressed to the absolute max. Those really bad days will be the ones that allow you to truly see the good days shining through. I suggest praying over your business. Ask God's blessing, guidance, and protection over your business. 

Here are a few bible verses to help you along the way, if you are starting a new business or already have one and just need some inspiring words. (All of the verses will be NKJV)

• For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:11-13 God only wants what is best for you. So in order for you to have a successful business, you must trust Him completely! There will be times when things will happen that you don't understand, just keep trusting. God is ALWAYS teaching us things, protecting us, and He knows when He has something better in store for us. 
• "Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall." Matthew 7:24-27 Just like in a marriage, invite Him in! I can't stress that enough! He is your foundation, your rock! If He is not the foundation, you can count on the fact that it will eventually fall!
  

• This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mou, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:8-9 Pray Pray Pray! Start each day with prayer and ask Him to be with you each day and help you respond to any struggles you may encounter in the right way. Continue to read His Word daily (it is THE BOOK, THE BLUEPRINT, THE ROAD MAP, THE HOW TO, THE WAY TO SUCCESS).
• Commit your works to the Lord, And your thoughts will be established. Proverbs 16:3 The Lord is in charge. Give it to Him. If you are worried or in doubt, pray! He will direct your paths. Wait for His answer. He could answer you in different ways, but He will answer you. You just have to make sure you know the difference in your inner self talking and The Holy Spirit talking! 
• And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ. Colossians 3:23 Always remember who you are and who you are in Christ. It's not about how much money you have in the bank or how many awards you have. Don't do it to get recognition from man, the reward is in Him! 
• Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass. He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, And your justice as the noonday. Psalm 37:5-6 There will be times when you just don't understand. Times where you and others think you aren't going in the right direction. But who can stop God? NO ONE!! Stay focused. When you want to give up, DON'T! When you think you can't go any more, GO A LITTLE FURTHER! When you think you have no more to give, GIVE SOME MORE! The reward will be great! 
• For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:28  The good, bad, crazy, and chaotic things work together for the good of those who love Him. He has a purpose!
• in that I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess. Deuteronomy 30:16 Walk in God's way and He will continue to bless your business. There is no such thing as luck, only blessings from our Heavenly Father! This is truth!!
• Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. 1 Chronicles 16:34 Continually thank Him for all His goodness! Share your testimony with others. Share what Christ has done in your business. 

When the explainable happens, don't be fooled. God did it!! God promises to bless those who follow Him and obey Him! 

I pray for God's blessing over you and your business!
