Scripture Reference:

Hebrews 6: 13-20

God's promises require patient pursuit. Like Abraham, we must endure trials and anchor our hopes through wisdom to obtain the vision God gives us.

Summary:

In this business devotional, we explore Hebrews 6:13-20 and the idea that God's promises are an anchor for our soul. But they must be actively obtained through patience, endurance and wisdom.

The passage examines Abraham's life. Though God promised him greatness, Abraham had to patiently endure and wait many years before seeing this promise fulfilled. He obtained it through tireless belief and hope.

This reminds entrepreneurs that God's promises are not passively received. We must pursue them through challenges and delays, keeping faith when doubt creeps in.

Patience and wisdom are wrongly seen today as weak or slow. But they require great inner strength and control. The truth is cultivating them leads to success and obtaining our vision. Even the highest performers like Abraham exude patience, avoid complaining and submit to God's timing.

So anchor your soul in God's promises. But also know you must endure hardship and grow in wisdom to fully obtain them. With belief and hope, you will achieve the great plans He has for you.
