There are certain chapters in the Bible that seem to overflow with pearls of wisdom. For wise business counsel, I find great treasures in Psalm 37.
One common mistake I’ve seen in business planning is to first develop our plans, then pray that God blesses our plans. But Psalm 37 reveals a progression in business planning God’s way.
First, we trust in the Lord, then we delight ourselves in the Lord. This sets the stage for the next step.
Psalm 37:5 teaches, “Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday.”
If we’re trusting and delighting in the Lord, by the time we commit our plans, they will be God’s plans.
