We understand that you are seeking clarity and guidance regarding a financial business venture with your son, which involves your retirement funds. As believers, we know that God cares about every aspect of our lives, including our finances and business decisions.
Firstly, we commend you for acknowledging that God's will and guidance are paramount in this situation. It is crucial to trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight, Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB.
We have to point out that the use of retirement funds for business ventures should be approached with extreme caution. The Bible tells us to be wise stewards of our resources, and it's important to consider the potential risks and benefits. We advise you to seek godly counsel from trusted Christians and financial experts who can provide insight and wisdom tailored to your specific situation. We also encourage you to pray and meditate on God's word before making any decisions.
Here are some scriptures to keep in mind:
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11 WEB
Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me now in this, says Yahweh of Armies, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. Malachi 3:10 WEB. Tithing is not the same as investing.
We pray that God will grant you and your husband wisdom and discernment as you navigate this decision. May He guide your steps and give you a clear vision of His will for your family and your finances.
Dear Lord, we come before You, lifting up this family who seeks Your guidance in their financial endeavors. Grant them the wisdom and discernment needed to make decisions that align with Your will. Protect their retirement funds and guide their son in his business ventures. May Your perfect will be done in their lives, and may they find peace and clarity in Your direction. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
