About this Event
In business, best practices can only get us so far. Sometimes, the insight we need must come from God. The Bible is full of accounts of God providing direction or solutions to his people.
- God gave Joseph the interpretation of Pharaoh’s dream, leading to a plan that saved Egypt (and the world) from famine. His management of resources created national prosperity and secured Pharaoh’s trust. (Gen. 41:33–57)
- After a night of failure, Jesus told Peter, an accomplished fisherman, what to do to catch fish when nothing was working. This led to a haul of fish so great they had to bring in another business to help manage the inventory. (Luke 5:1–7)
- God gave Jacob an unconventional breeding strategy that caused his flocks to multiply, making him wealthier than his employer, Laban. (Gen. 30:43)
Learn to recognize how God speaks, and what to do about it.
This is the believer’s advantage.
