As Christian entrepreneurs, business owners, and employees, the essence of family, as outlined in Proverbs 22:6, stands as a beacon of guidance and strength. This verse encourages us to “train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it,” emphasising the need of sharing strong values and ethics in our families.
Biblical figures including Joseph and Lydia exhibit resilience and trust in the face of hardship. Joseph’s determination through betrayal and hardship, eventually rising to prominence in Egypt, shows the strength of steadfast trust and integrity. Lydia, an experienced businesswoman, used her resources to support Paul’s work, demonstrating that faith and commercial ability can coexist together.
Let us be inspired by Joseph and Lydia and integrate faith, family, and work into our daily lives. Accept the charge to be careful and ethical in our efforts, creating a legacy of faith and achievement. We honour God by strengthening families and communities, thereby uplifting society’s very foundation.
