Proverbs 13:15 (NIV) Good understanding wins favor, but the way of the unfaithful is hard (the unfaithful does not endure). James 1:2 (NAS) Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
For the Believer, God's providence must be the foundation of our value system. That core sustains our belief that God cares and is dynamically in charge of all of life, especially our trials. Christian business leaders understand that God cares far less about the business, than he does about the person, for it is our belief system - our faith in operation - that is of interest to Him; for, "without faith it is impossible to please God." How you endure (respond to, react to) business setbacks, failures, and persistent problems not only wins favor with those watching you (Your attitude answering the question, "Is the Christian stuff for real?"), but it also is of interest to God who is working in our lives to conform us to the image of His Son.
Are you embracing God's work or expressing unbelief by questioning it?
