Have you been discouraged in your desire to start a business to support your family, your church, a mission dear to your heart, but simply “don’t know how”? Perhaps someone has demeaned you because of your background, your education, or something totally beyond your control.
Take courage, friend! God is for you! He wants you to join Him in the “Great Adventure” of operating in the eternal, boundless realm of His Kingdom, by His power and under His direction, with His wisdom.
Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. — 1 Corinthians 1:26-27 (NIV)
