BCWE Business Review!

Its no secret that the economy and the housing market are suffering financially. Since I have made my living in the real estate and housing industry, the last year and a half have proven difficult if not impossible at times. Still, God has a way of showing that He is in control and that we need to trust Him.

This week one of my field leaders called me to say that some of the guys thought it would be good to get together and pray that God would work in the business and help us survive this market and economy. I was expecting a handful of men and thought we would have prayer then talk then leave. This morning, the man organizing the meeting called and told me he thought about 20 men were coming. I called Austin and asked him to come preach a message on dealing with problem times. When we got there, i was greeted by 28 of our people. I was amazed. Austin preached, some of the men gave a short testimony of how God had been faithful, we prayed then went home. I was encouraged beyond words at their desire to seek God’s will for our business and life.

I beleive when men get together and pray with sincerity and a contrite heart, God hears and answers prayer. I want to encourage anyone who has not read the blog on Father Knows Best to check that out. I can tell you that my pastor is a man who can talk about trials and trusting God. I do not want to be rescued from a trial to be the man I was before the trial, but to come forth as gold and as a better servant for Him.
