Today we take a look at a strong successful woman in the Bible by the name of Lydia. In Lydia, we find a woman who loved God and was a businesswoman. There is not any word of a husband so she was what we may call an independent successful woman, but she is really dependent on God. She has a house, a business, and looks to be wealthy. When presented with the Word that saves, she did not allow her business or wealth to be obstacles. In fact, even prior to that, she was at the place of prayer when encountered by Paul and his companions. These things like a business or wealth can be stumbling blocks to us if we let them. Lydia does not. She chooses God.
