Ihave always tried to run my business honestly, but I have to admit I’m a very competitive person. Is this wrong in God’s eyes? — H.T.
You can follow Jesus and still be successful in business. The Bible gives us several ex- amples of people like this.
Let me ask you a question: Do you see your business as something you have built — or something God has entrusted to you?
Your answer will make all the difference, both in your attitude about your business and the way you run it.
The Bible says, “O Lord our God, as for all this abundance ... it comes from your hand, and all of it belongs to you” (1 Chronicles 29:16).
Put yourself in your customers’ shoes: Do they think they’ve been treated fairly — or do wonder if they’ve been cheated?
Let the Bible mold your behavior.
