The founder of Betenbough Homes, Rick Betenbough, was surprised when his CFO pronounced that he was leaving the company to start a new business. When Rick asked what kind of business, he was stunned to learn it was going to be a competing home building business!
Rick wrestled with this news until he remembered that his own provision comes from God, not the marketplace. Rick decided that if God was calling his CFO to launch a competing business then he would bless that effort rather than fear it. Rick gathered his team to pray for this man!
Proverbs 3:5 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding.”
If your provision comes from God, you have no need to fear the competition.
