A Business Prayer

This week has been really good from my business situation. I have been praying each day for the success of the shop, some days immediate 'answers' other days silence! This week has been one of my busiest, so many people coming in and buying product. A lot of small sales but they all add up. So has God answered my prayers? When the sales didn't happen was God silent?

I believe that God is answering my prayers and he has blessed the business, maybe not every day but overall. Even a place of business can see signs of the kingdom.
Also I have had some good conversations with customers about their situation. No God talk mainly just listening, not even always sales talk, just listening. There so many people out there who just want others to hear their story.

Actually this week has been a bit of an international week; people from Finland, Ukraine, Korea, China, England, Ireland, & the US. It just reminded me that the Kingdom of God is very mission in its intent, and that it reaches beyond national borders. I hope I showed each of these people a small reflection of Christ as we talked.

Man the world must get such a messed up message about what being Christian really is! Just finished hearing the news; a Catholic Brother up on sex charges, Mugabie claiming that God had put him there, and in the States Obama, Clinton and Bush all claiming to speak for Christians.
