Organizational psychologist, Goh Hong Yi, wrote a profound online article for Salt and Light on barrenness that relates to business.
Abraham was told that God was going to make him into a great nation. However, his wife, Sarah, was unable to conceive for decades.
The author wrote, "The lineage of Abraham reminds us that barrenness is not always the absence of purpose. Sometimes it is the context in which dependence on God is formed." Abraham's faith journey was shaped by barrenness, not by success.
In business, many strive for years pursuing financial success, only to experience barrenness.
Psalm 127:1 teaches, "Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain."
If you've been striving for success and feel defeated, remember God may be shaping you for something even greater.
