What has the Bible got to do with it?!

I know funny topic! this days I am constantly asked by friends and not so friendly friends "what has the bible got to do with it?" I even get this question from my "Christian" friends some of whom are born again. But what actually brought up this post was a conversation I was having yesterday with someone (name withheld) who felt that I was tooooooooo religious because I brought the Bible and God into a business question.

Our discussion was on "how to actually be a better you" well something like that anyway. I refereed to the book of genesis, the story of creation and man. I was trying to point out how unique man was amongst all of God's creation and the fact that man ought to be able to have complete control of himself and his environment because God has given him that power.

Anyway that is another topic for another day. This topic is actually to just let us know what the bible has got to do with it! IT been every aspect of our lives! I have come to realize that whatever you are passing through in life someone in the bible is a good case study. Although u also have such case study in real life but the good thing about the bible is that it gives u step by step solutions to the problems. Basically it shows you how to apply this solutions too and how to pray as well. I like the stories of Prophets Elisha, Ezekiel and Nehemiah.

In 2Kings 4 we read about the widow who was taught how to manage debts, once this method is understood and applied it goes a long way in helping u be a good manager and entrepreneur. It also helps you have an understanding of the fact that you have something with you that is useful to the general public and so can be converted to an income generating business/idea.

The book of Esther gives you a step by step breakdown of how best to beat the enemy at his doorstep. Military tactics.It also shows that for everything you have to put God first.

This is what the Bible has Got to do with it:

1

Its a good case study for all occurrences

2

Its a map to a destination

3

With the bible You cant go wrong

4

It reminds you constantly to put God first

5

It helps you understand that you are not alone and you are not the first

So next time you are with someone and he refers to the Bible or God, don't get your dander up! That is the best place to get answers.
