Scripture Reference:
“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.” – Matthew 7:24-25 (NKJV)

Stability in business is just as important as growth. Many companies experience rapid expansion but collapse because they were built on shaky foundations. Jesus compares a wise builder to someone who builds on rock—strong, unshakable, and enduring. The same principle applies to business: if a company is built on solid values, sound financial management, and long-term vision, it can withstand challenges.

A stable business isn’t just about surviving; it’s about being prepared for difficulties. Economic downturns, industry shifts, and unexpected obstacles will come, but a business rooted in strong foundations will endure. Just as in faith, business stability comes from wisdom, preparation, and trusting God for guidance.

Business owners must prioritize stability over short-term success. This means managing cash flow wisely, making calculated decisions, and ensuring the company’s mission aligns with God’s principles. When we prioritize stability, we create businesses that don’t just thrive temporarily but have a lasting impact for years to come.

Reflection Questions:

• Is your business built on strong, lasting principles, or are you focused only on short-term success?

• How do you prepare for challenges so that your business can remain stable during difficult times?

• In what ways can you seek God’s wisdom to ensure your business stands firm on a solid foundation?
