When seeking to bring glory to God in your business, there are several key things you can do. As a woman of faith in business, I’ve seen and personally navigated the struggles that come with stepping out on faith. The business world isn’t always so pretty and it can easily attempt to snare you in ways that aren’t pleasing to God or good for your business. In this post, we’re going to look at practical ways you can honor God with your business.

Top 3 Things You Can Do to Bring Glory to God in Your Business

Always submit your plans and ideas to Him.

It can be super easy to get a great idea and instantly want to run with it. However, getting into the habit of doing so could also create a ripple effect in your business that may do more harm than good. It’s better to get into the habit of always praying and submitting your ideas and plans to God first. Then, be in a position to hear what He has to say about it.

I believe we are all given a Spirit-meter (thank you Holy Spirit) that will direct us in the ways that we should go. The answers we receive may not always be what we want, but when done in proper order and timing, it always yields the best results. I suggest grabbing an “ideas and plans” braindump journal to have a place for writing down everything that ever comes to mind. This will can then serve as your prayer journal to help you keep track of what your plans/ideas were, prayers, and God’s responses.

Be the light in your industry.

You may have already witnessed how easy it is to be blind-sided by what seems to be popular and trending. And in most cases, it’s not always the things of God. However, you should never dim your light, your mission, or your faith because it may not seem popular. Instead, continue to show up in the light and through the countenance of God.

Ask Him to give you the words to say and pray for the right people to see and be inspired by it. He would never ask you to dim yourself to stay popular or be liked by others. In fact, I’m willing to bet He would bless you for doing the exact opposite.

Adopt a gratitude mindset.

There will be times when nothing seems to be going right. Perhaps it’s a flopped course launch or incredibly low sales. This is where having a mindset of gratefulness can help you stay focused on the good things and blessings of having your business. Seeing things from a grateful perspective also helps you to see things differently.

Instead of seeing a failed business, you will begin to see ways to change things for the better. When you want to give up, a grateful attitude will see how to put one foot in front of the other. 

Final Thoughts about how to bring glory to god in your business

Adopting these practical, yet powerful, things to bring glory to God in your business is a sure way to honor Him in what you do. If you’re not already doing these things, start with one at a time until it becomes a habit, then add another. Before you know it, you’ll have a completely new outlook and mindset that brings glory to God!
