Trusting in God – or what you’ve made?

~ Beth ~ Leave a comment

This morning’s email inbox had a short devotional from Tyndale Publishers, and I thought it was so profound and good. I wanted to share it here with you:

“What good is an idol carved by man, or a cast image that deceives you? How foolish to trust in your own creation–a god that can’t even talk!” Idolatry may seem like a sin that modern people need not fear. But idolatry is not just bowing down to idols; it is trusting in what one has made, and therefore, in one’s own power as creator and sustainer. If we say we worship God but put our trust in bank accounts, homes, businesses, and organizations, then we are idolaters. Do you trust God more than you trust what your hands have made?”

I believe with all my heart that God has put great gifts inside each of us that He wants to use for His glory. Writing and speaking, coaching, entrepreneurship, all these are gifts from His hand. At this site I encourage you to write and speak to glorify God, which includes making books, ebooks, audios, podcasts, webinars, teleseminars, etc.

In fact, I just finished writing my new ebook on women and spiritual warfare, The Hands Of A Woman: Everyday Women In Everyday Battles, and encourage you to buy it because it is so powerful. You can find out more about my ebook by clicking here. I’m interviewing another one of the contributor writers for this ebook today, Susan Evans, at 12 p.m. Central Time at TalkShoe.

But it’s important that we trust God more than we trust in what our hands have made! Yes, God may have inspired us to create something wonderful – but we have to trust in God, not in that product/service. We have to trust in GOD”S power to even sell it, not the product’s (or our) ability to do so. Our hearts must belong to God alone.

What  a great reminder from Tyndale’s staff!

Have you started a new business online, begun a new website, or  you’re a new speaker and writer trying to get your name out there and to sell your info products? I’ve had my writing and speaking business for a little over a year now, and have been searching for good resources on the basics of marketing. You hear the word “marketing” thrown around a lot by the experts/gurus, but what is it exactly – and how do you do it?

I wasn’t sure what marketing really means, what the heck a marketing plan is, and didn’t know HOW to market my info products. This week I found an AMAZING – and you’re going to LOVE this! – FREE resource, LaTara Ham-Ying’s Online Marketing Basics series.                                                           

Last night I sat  down and read through every single post – and it’s a 21-day series, LOL. I never do this and usually get bored reading article-sized info, but she’s a good writer and gives very practical, helpful info – just what  I’ve been looking for and needed.  LaTara has wonderful, free downloadable resources for you, too, to work on your marketing plan that you can take action on TODAY.

If you want an incredible resource to help you with your marketing and your marketing plan, check out LaTara’s Online Marketing Basics series by clicking on this link.

PS: I also recommend LaTara as a business coach. She tells it like it is, she’s encouraging, and she will challenge you to do what you need to do to succeed in your business. Check out her coaching services.

Over the last couple of months, I’ve been working on my new ebook, The Hands Of A Woman: Everyday Women In Everyday Battles. It took longer than I anticipated, but the actual writing part is done. I am so excited about this!

When you buy it, you also receive complimentary bonus gifts of my study guide that covers each of the ten chapters of the book and Cindy Rushton’s incredible Castles Under Fire audio bundle set. (Cindy is my writing/business coach. She is amazing!)

As Christians we are in a war every day with our enemy, Satan. This ebook shares about the everyday battles that women face today – and how we can have victory through faith in Christ.

This ebook is 120 pages long, has solid Biblical content, and has an application section following each story. It contains eight women’s stories that are heart-wrenching and powerful. You will be encouraged and inspired.
