If you’re searching “hearing God’s voice” or “starting a business with God” and you can’t tell whether the thought in your head is Him or just you, this episode is for you. Why Hearing God’s Voice About Starting a Business Feels So Hard For a long time, I couldn’t tell which way I was supposed to go. Look for another job, using the skills and experience I’d gained over the years, or start my own business. I wanted to know whether I was hearing God’s voice, or just my own thoughts. Maybe you’re in that spot right now. The thought shows up while you’re doing the dishes, folding laundry, or driving with nothing playing. What if I started that business? And right behind it, the second thought. Is that God? Or is that just me? For some women it arrives the week after a job ends, while they sit in the parking lot with their phone in hand. For some it’s a Sunday, when the pastor says God is calling a few of you to build something. For some it’s a friend across the table who says you have a gift for this. And for the woman who tried once and it didn’t go the way she hoped, the thought comes back with a second fear attached: being seen trying again. Then the explaining starts. It’s probably just a rough month. Somebody else already does this. I’m not qualified. I’ll start when I’m ready. Another month goes by, and you haven’t told anyone. You Don’t Have to Settle Your Business Calling Tonight Not being sure at the start does not mean you missed God. You don’t need to settle your business calling tonight, and you don’t need certainty before you ask. Today we look at how starting a business with God can begin, with a child who didn’t recognize who was calling him. Three Things Worth Watching For These are not promises from Scripture. They’re what women often notice, and then test. The idea keeps coming back, and it’s still there days later. People keep pointing at it. A need keeps crossing your path. Any one of these on its own could just be a good idea. Together, over time, they’re worth taking seriously. What Samuel Teaches About Recognizing God’s Voice (1 Samuel 3) Maybe it keeps coming back because you want it so badly. Maybe it’s just you. That’s a fair thing to ask, and Samuel’s story speaks to it. First Samuel 3 says the word of the LORD was precious in those days, and there was no open vision. In that rare time, Samuel, a child serving under Eli the priest, was lying down when he heard his name called. He thought it was Eli. He went to Eli, and Eli said he hadn’t called him. It happened a second time. Then a third time, and the text says, “Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child.” “Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed unto him.” (1 Samuel 3:7, KJV) He did not yet know the LORD, and God called him by name anyway. Learning to recognize God’s voice came after. Take It to the Right Person I can’t tell you how God will speak to you, and this passage doesn’t promise a pattern. What it shows us is one night, and what Samuel did next. He took it to Eli, the priest he served under, who was right there in his everyday life and called Samuel “my son.” Eli was not a perfect man, and the same chapter tells us so. But on that night he saw what Samuel could not see yet, and he told him what to say. So when you take this to someone, choose carefully. Don’t take it to just anyone with an opinion. That might be a pastor, a mentor, or a friend who has watched you for years. Choose someone who knows you well and knows the Lord, and who will tell you what they actually see, even when it isn’t what you hoped to hear. My Own Story: A Business Prayer and a Business Calling I asked this question about a job and a business. I had prayed for a very long time, one simple business prayer, to run my own faith based business from home and work with God as my boss. Today I’m a Christian business owner living that dream. He never promised me riches. What He reminded me of was the last commission: to use my gifts to promote the gospel, and to teach others through my own journey. One Step This Week The next time the thought comes, write it down, on your phone or in a notebook, whichever is closer. Exactly as it came, with today’s date. A line or two is enough. When it comes again, write the date again. The dates will show you whether it’s a thought that passes, or one that returns. And a question to carry: when the idea comes back, who is the person who knows you well, knows the Lord, and has already seen it in you?
