Question 1
One might think that the Bible has nothing to say regarding business planning, but the opposite is true. In , Jesus suggests, For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? (English Standard Version). Indeed, Jesus said in that we should consider planning in the short-term as well: Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. The two perspectives complement each other. The long-term is not ignored; we are just told not to worry ourselves. We should focus on both time frames as we make strategic short- and long-term plans, but we should avoid worrying. That comes from prayer, as admonishes that we not be anxious, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. Think about itwe can place our concerns and worries on God, and he will provide.
