Be wise with your money

.

Where money is concerned, the Bible teaches us that we are to:

...........(1) Save for a rainy day. "There is...treasure...in the dwelling of the wise. But a foolish man squanders it" (Pr 21:20 NKJV). Learn to live without your means and teach your children to do the same. Instead of maxing out your credit cards remind yourself that you can live happily without most of the stuff advertisers are peddling. Before you make another purchase, pray. Just because your banker approves the loan doesn't mean it's wise, or that God approves the expenditure. All boats rise with the tide; they also go down with it. Joseph instructed Pharaoh to "gather all the food of those good years...Then that food shall be as a reserve for...seven years of famine" (Ge 41:35-36 NKJV). Live by "the Joseph principle," and save.

..........(2) Sow in the time of famine. The Bible says, "Whoever sows generously will also reap generously" (2Co 9:6 NIV). You say, "But things are tight for me now." Don't withhold because you are afraid of not having enough. Give God a seed to work with and He'll make sure you have a harvest when you need it. God's ability to provide is not limited by the world's economy. Do what Isaac did: "There was a famine in the land...Then Isaac sowed...and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him" (Ge 26:1, 12-13 NKJV). Who blessed Isaac? The Lord! When God tells you to give, give in faith, confident that at the right time, in the right way, and in exactly the right places, you'll receive!
