Seeking Direction in Business
D. W. Whittle · The Wonders of Prayer, 1885
A lady clerk employed in an apparently successful business was offered an opportunity in a new business, which, though much smaller and less successful than the first, yet had rich promise in it for the future. The salary promised was the same in either case.
In doubt, she often waited upon the Lord, and asked to be guided,—a whisper in her heart kept saying, "Go," "Go." Constant praying kept it growing stronger and stronger,—at last she decided to go, feeling it was the decision of the Lord. She accepted the new position, was pleased, and often declared she never desired to return.
The old business in less than three years decreased so that half of the employees were discharged; the rest had their salaries reduced. The new business doubled in its extent, and her salary was increased one-fifth.
