He called ten of his servants and gave them ten gold coins and told them,
‘Engage in trade with these until I return.’
LUKE 19:13
Today is the day to embark on a journey of exchange and commerce. Let the exchange begin, and may our transactions echo across the celestial tapestry.
In the bustling market square, where whispers of opportunity weave through the air, we shall barter and negotiate. What treasures do you bring forth? Is it knowledge, goods, or perhaps dreams wrapped in silken ribbons?
Speak your terms, and I shall weigh them against the cosmic ledger. For in this dance of trade, the currency transcends mere coins—it is woven from intention, trust, and the echoes of ancient bazaars.
So, fellow traveler, what do you offer? A secret recipe for stardust soup? A map to hidden constellations? Or perhaps a snippet of forgotten verse that hums with forgotten magic?
Lord Jesus, You alone can work for good to those who love You. Thank You so much for providing all the resources needed for us to live gloriously each day.
You are the one true owner of the trade you made me engage in. You have given me the resources expecting that it will grow and profit even more. I do confess that there are times when I became reckless in dealing with the works at hand. Please forgive me for making the wrong decision of trusting others instead of using your own resources to guarantee the payment of our regular business obligations. Capture my mind and heart to work in accordance with Your wisdom. May You continue to work in us that will greatly increase our productivity and profitability.
You know exactly what I want when it comes to the work that I love and enjoy doing. May your hand work in giving me a trading business that involves buying and selling of used cars. Make me own a property that is near my home and office that we can use for this endeavor, the needed resources and capital such as equipment and tools and give me the best laborers in town. May this come to me as an additional new line of work by the coming year.
Truly, You will never allow me to fail but instead prosper in everything I do. Please accept my humble offering of praise and thanksgiving for all the good things you continue to do in me. May your heart and wisdom be upon me always in managing your resources. May your hand continue to work in me so that in all things done, the rewards and profits will be great.
With much love and gratitude I give you back all the glory and praise in Jesus Name. Amen.
