Good Morning Might Men of Valor....
How's your money?
What?... Too personal?
I know.... many of us do not like talking about money, moola, greenbacks, our 401Ks, our finances.
But many of us are in trouble when we consider our financial health, so we put our heads in the sand and pray that God will drop some cash into our laps. Really?
Many of us are concerned about economics... inflation... the price of gas... the down stock market... the value of the investment portfolio... getting to the next paycheck.....
It can make your head spin and your heart heavy!
I have always been taught to have strong fundamentals... in everything we do.
Our work, our relationships, our faith (It's all about knowing God...).
We see this easily if we consider a sport... any sport... it's all about strong fundamentals.
Athletes practice them until they become "muscle memory".
So what about the fundamentals of our money?
Plenty of Biblical instruction... if we only applied them better.... made them muscle memory, too.
Try these:
1. Tithe - Obedience is the precursor to blessing
2. Limit debt - be a lender not a borrower
3. Have and use a budget - be in order... God is a God of Order... we should be, too.
4. Save - For those who lack wisdom let him ask....
5. Live within our means - Be a good steward.
The enemy of souls wants us to look at the conditions of the world.
To put our eyes on the world's concerns rather than keep our eyes on the God who provides... Jehovah Jireh.
The Lord is not limited to the conditions of the world.
A wise man will focus on the source of provision, not the provision itself.
Strength and Honor, but only for His Glory,
