Then Jesus said, "Come to Me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. (NLT)
More than enough
Starting your own business is both an exciting and challenging. However, once the thrill of being your own boss settles in, the reality of responsibility also becomes a fact. Apparently it takes about two to five years for a business to become self-sufficient. Up to that time, the owner needs to have enough resources to carry the financial aspect of the business.
It was so with us in our first enterprise. The company was gradually expanding and our customers were happy with the product. However, unlike being employed by someone else where there is a regular income, our money came when our customers paid us.
One time, after a slight lull between customers, the returns were slow in coming and our bills were mounting up. It was time to pay our suppliers.
We prayed.
That day, I read this scripture:
That your trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to you this day, even to thee. (Proverbs 22:19)
Later that day, we received an envelope in the mail. A customer had fully paid his bill. Now we were able to pay our suppliers.
Although at that time the scripture applied to finances, I believe that the scripture is a principle of God, which applies to any situation.
God is Faithful. Today may you find Him more than enough.
