The Cost of Doing Business. Ep. 176

Over the past several weeks we've been talking about how God uses His Word to help us build wealth. We've covered wisdom, pride, faith, belief, and learning to hear His voice.This week I want to share something personal.I recently took trades in the stock market that didn't go the way I expected. The interesting part isn't that I lost money—it's that before I entered those trades, I believe God had already shown me the price I should wait for.Instead of following that instruction, I convinced myself I knew better.A few days later, the stock dropped to the exact price I believe God had shown me... and then it rallied.That experience reminded me that God's instructions don't only apply to church—they apply to our finances, our businesses, our investing, and every major decision we make.Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us that God has plans to prosper us, but we still have to choose whether we'll follow His direction or our own.If you're trying to build wealth, don't just ask God to bless your plans. Ask Him for His plan.If this message encouraged you, I'd love to hear from you.Comment below:Have you ever ignored wise advice—or God's direction—and learned from it later?If you're enjoying this series on how biblical principles can help us build wealth, subscribe and share this episode with someone who needs the reminder that success isn't just about working harder—it's about following wise instruction.Believe.
