Bible Answer: Dear itsall4him, Welcome to the forum! People can be outside the will of God and extremely successful in their worldly endeavors. People can be perfectly in the will of God and be extremely unsuccessful in worldly endeavors. It is a false teaching to measure your godliness by your success. The will of God for you is clearly and explicitly expressed in the Scripture. Our first question should be: Are we living lives in harmony with what is revealed in God's Word? Whether success in business comes along is entirely up to the providence of God. He will provide all we need, but He does not promise to make us successful at business. In Him, Doc |
