In other words, what is your reason for wanting to have a successful online business? Is your reason big enough to sustain you through think and thin, failures, and set backs?
This blog is written, as I see it, to answer their question as to what my why is!
First of all, the "why" each one of us must have is something that we are passionate enough about to sustain us and cause us to continue on in the face of whatever present adversity we might be facing!
A good "why" for many of us in America today could be a reason to make God continue to bless us as a nation! That would certainly be a good why! We are living in a time when many may be asking if God has now turned His back on us even as many of our political leaders, as well as many others, have turned their backs on Him! So to set out to turn the trend around so God will bless us again even as He has, without question, blessed us in the past would certainly be a good why for anyone who is passionate enough about it!
While I, as many of you, have a strong desire to see that happen, it only borders on what I am most passionate about!
You see, America is a great country and richly blessed, but we must face the facts that she is not the only country or group of people that God has created and is concerned about!
Many people of this nation have let God know, in no uncertain terms, by their actions or lack thereof (which do speak louder than words) that they want nothing to do with Him or what He stands for when it comes to the way they conduct themselves in their day to day way of living!
So what is my why? What is it I am even more passionate about than that?
My why is to be able to support several of the non-profit organizations which are doing a great job exposing the truth of God as well as some other non-profit and for-profit organizations who are less than honest when it comes to expressing God's truth in love!
Sadly it is true what Jesus said about false prophets coming in His name, claiming Him to be the Christ, and deceiving many!
The gospel that we Christians believe is good news! The perverted gospel, however, is bad news! And it deserves to be exposed for what it is! But how can those organizations who are doing a good job with that continue on without support?
Joyfully, in a way, we don't have to worry about that because as long as they are doing a good job they will get the support they need because just as God Himself has blessed our great nation in the past, when we actually looked to Him for support, He does support and will continue to support those who work on His behalf!
That brings me to my why! Those I wish to support will be supported whether or not I am successful in making much difference in the work I do on their behalf! But my why is to be a part of what they are doing!
What little I can donate out of my retirement funds are very insignificant, in fact, it doesn't even allow me the luxury of being a part of all the organizations that I would like to help, that's why I work online!

Our Devotion For Today:
For the Lord is righteous, He loves justice; upright men will see His face. Psalm 11:7 NIV
It is a privilege to do the commandments. And my soul trembles at the fearfulness of will, love comes with its calm power. Where Gods law is, is God's love. Look at law---it withers your very soul with its stern, inexorable face. But look at love or look at God's will, which means look at love's will, and you are reassured, and your heart grows strong. God's will, then, is as great as God, as high as heaven---yet as easy as love. For love knows no hardness and feels no yoke.
Give me love, pure, burning love and loyalty to Him, and I shall climb from law to law through grace and glory to the place beside the throne where the angels do His will. There are two ways, therefore, of looking at God's will---one looking at the love side of it, the other at the law; the one ending in triumph, the other in despair; the one a liberty, the other a slavery.
Henry Drummond
