Mind your business - Press ON!

Image credit: Tumblr.com
Dear Woman of Business,

I know that journey called life is not very easy, and like me, you might frustrate with the distance that we have to go to achieve the dream the Lord has placed in your heart for ourselves, our families and our finances.  Today I want to encourage you. It is my prayer that this post is an encouragement to you to "keep on keeping on."

I want you to take the following statement to heart;

"You are called to press on in faith!"

There is a call for those of us who believe in Jesus to press on and this call is even greater than the one that pushes us to accomplish our dreams. Take a quick look at Philippians 3:13-14;

            Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do:                          Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal
          to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.   

Friends, you are encouraged to press on, keep at it, don't stop, one step at a time,  to the ultimate goal of life in Jesus Christ.  Even the great evangelist Paul admitted that he did not have it all together but that was not stopping him; it should not stop you either. Distractions will come and life will trip you up sometimes, please don't stay down. Get back up, every time! Your family might seem to be spiraling, take hold and assess things honestly then come up with a game plan.  Your debt may seem like a mountain, sure but as Granny used to say, "one, one, full basket."  You may even have the impression  your Christianity is too 'messy.' Don't stop pressing!

Women of Business know that one of the most important things we are to do is press on in is our walk of faith.  We have a comforter in the Holy Spirit for when we are going through the tough times. We have an example in Jesus Christ for when we think of giving up (so don't ask for the 'cup' to be passed from you). Finally, we have the love of a Father who saw it fit to have us as His children.  We have been blessed and favoured with that which would enable us to overcome the challenges that come with this journey of life.

Today's post is short so you can just keep pressing! :)

What are you pressing through today?  Let me know in the comment section,  I will be honoured to pray for you.
