Bible Verses for Business Owners - Book Proverbs, Chapter 27, Verse 10

In the book of Proverbs, chapter 27, verse 10, it is written: "Do not forsake your friend or a friend of your family, and do not go to your relative’s house when disaster strikes you—better a neighbor nearby than a relative far away." This verse speaks to the importance of true friendship and loyalty in times of need. It reminds us that having a reliable and trustworthy friend is more valuable than distant relatives who may not be there for us when we face challenges.

As entrepreneurs and small business owners, we often face obstacles and setbacks on our journey. In these moments of difficulty, it is crucial to have friends who stand by our side and offer support. These friends may not be blood relatives, but their loyalty and care can make all the difference in overcoming challenges.
Imagine you are facing a tough decision in your business that could potentially lead to financial loss. You have a distant relative who offers advice over the phone but doesn't fully understand the situation. On the other hand, you have a close friend who knows your business inside out and has always been there for you during tough times. According to Proverbs 27:10, it would be wiser to seek guidance from this loyal friend nearby rather than relying on a distant relative.
By valuing true friendships and surrounding ourselves with trustworthy individuals who genuinely care about our well-being, we can navigate through the ups and downs of entrepreneurship with strength and resilience. Let us remember the wisdom found in Proverbs 27:10 as we build relationships based on loyalty, trust, and genuine care for one another in both our personal lives and business endeavors.
