God’s Business Strategy: He Perfects – Episode 157

In today's episode, we finish up our convo on God's Business Strategy this week with this truth: He perfects us. As Dr. Charles Stanley says, "It is God working in us - God perfecting us - that allows us to do anything worthwhile for the Kingdom."   God doesn’t change us in a blink of an eye - He perfects us over time. And that, my friends is what development is all about (hint: Develop is the 4th Key to Redefine Hustle - get your copy at https://erinharrigan.com/4Keys)   He can take our small steps, taken in obedience and trust, and magnify them exponentially!   In this crazy world of feeling ill-equipped, confused, and unqualified in your business…you are not alone. Even after a time of struggle, in 1 Peter, we see that God promises that He will perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle us. It will take endurance, being proactive in our faith, and seeking and obeying Him. He will accomplish His purpose in us as we allow Him to position us, prepare us, provide for us, and, ultimately, perfect us.     I hope you will take the lessons of this past month, as you have been uncovering God’s plan for your business, and pray over them, looking for ways to incorporate them into your life and business strategy. Remember to reach out if you need any help or support in that area. In the meantime, I’ll be praying for you as you explore how to hustle with heart in your Kingdom business.   PS if embracing and activating God's business strategy has you stuck, I've got an amazing retreat for you!
