Spotlight On Christian Woman In Business At Christmas Time

As we celebrate Christmas Day 2024, we are reminded of the most precious gift ever given—Jesus Christ, our Savior. This season is not only about celebrating His birth but also a time of reflection, gratitude, and renewed focus on God’s purpose for our lives. For Christian women in business, this Christmas is an opportunity to align our goals—whether in career, business, or wealth—with our faith in Christ.

Zig Ziglar once said, “You can have everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want.”

This truth is a guiding principle for Christian women who seek to pursue success in the business world. Our goal is not simply to accumulate wealth or climb the corporate ladder but to serve others and glorify God through our work. When we help others flourish, God blesses our efforts in ways we cannot imagine.

Business Goals: Faith in Action

As Christian women, our businesses should reflect our values and our faith. Whether we run our own companies or work in corporate settings, our conduct is an opportunity to be a witness for Christ.

Colossians 3:23 (KJV) reminds us, “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.” This verse calls us to work with excellence, integrity, and diligence, knowing that our efforts are ultimately for the Lord.

Consider how your business goals can align with your faith. Are you striving to build a business that honors God? Are you using your platform to impact your clients, employees, and community positively? Prayerfully ask God for guidance in setting business goals that reflect His love, service, and stewardship values. As you do, you will find that your work becomes more than just a source of income—it becomes a ministry and a means to glorify Him.

Career Goals: Fulfilling God's Purpose

For those focused on career advancement, it is essential to remember that our professional lives are part of God’s plan for us. Our careers are not separate from our spiritual lives; rather, they are one way we fulfill God’s purpose.

Proverbs 16:3 (KJV) says, “Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.”

When we commit our career goals to God, He will guide us and lead us to where He wants us to be.

Zig Ziglar often encouraged people to aim high, saying, “When you catch a glimpse of your potential, that’s when passion is born.”

As Christian women, we can confidently pursue our career aspirations, knowing that God has given us gifts and talents for a purpose. Seek to develop those talents in your workplace, strive for excellence, and trust God to open doors of opportunity in His perfect timing.

Wealth Goals: Stewardship and Generosity

Wealth is a tool that God entrusts to us to advance His kingdom and bless others. As we reflect on our financial goals for 2024, we must remember the biblical principles of stewardship and generosity.

Proverbs 3:9 (KJV) says, “Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase.”

This verse reminds us that our financial success is not just for our benefit but an opportunity to honor God through tithes, offerings, and generosity toward others.

Zig Ziglar understood the importance of using wealth wisely. He said, “Money isn’t the most important thing in life, but it’s reasonably close to oxygen on the ‘gotta have it’ scale.”

While financial stability and success are important, we must always seek God’s wisdom in managing our resources. Set financial goals for 2025 that reflect your personal needs and your desire to bless others. Whether charitable giving, supporting your church, or investing in causes that align with your values, use your wealth to make a positive impact in the world.

A Christmas Reflection on Purposeful Living

This Christmas, as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, let us also reflect on the gifts God has given us—our talents, opportunities, and resources. In every area of life—business, career, and wealth—God calls us to be faithful stewards. As we look ahead to 2024, may we set goals that align with His will, pursue success with integrity, and use our resources to serve others and glorify Him.

Just as the wise men brought their gifts to honor the newborn King, let us offer our work, careers, and finances as gifts to God, trusting that He will use them for His glory and our good.
