My Top 10 Bible Verses about Business and Work.

In the past couple weeks, I met with someone starting a new business. It was fun to pray for that new venture and talk about what the future would hold.

After our time together I decided to build a list of my top 10 Bible passages that relate to work and business. Most people will spend more time doing work-related stuff than anything else in their lifetime. With that in mind, it is exceptionally important to know the wisdom and promises God’s Word has to offer!

These are my top 10, but there is no shortage of great Bible passages that deal with the topic. Feel free to post one of your favorites in the comments below!
