Conventional business planning is usually focused on one thing: More! Specifically, more sales, more profits, and more wealth for the shareholders.

When the motive is “More,” customers and employees frequently become tools to be used and abused rather than served. A better approach is to be focused on advancing the Kingdom of God.

When we realize we’re working for the Lord and that business is designed to fulfill the needs of God’s children, we will want to meet those needs rather than just making more money.

Talking about the pursuit of material possessions, Jesus said in Matthew 6:33, “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”

In your future planning, consider seeking God’s kingdom first, rather than wealth. Then let God provide the rest.
