"In the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil, but a foolish man devours all he has. He who pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity and honor." Proverbs 21:20-21
Our spending - does it honor God? Or merely please ourselves? Ouch. Troy & I have our own personal story in what God has taught us about money, saving, and giving, and it hasn't always been an easy process for us to learn! Many of you are probably faster learners. (:
Our society unfortunately makes it very simple for one to not only spend "all he has," but "more than he has" through credit, quick loans, cash advances, etc... Living on the edge of that type of over spending and credit crises can quickly lead to a big, deep hole that takes much longer to climb out of as it did to get there in the first place! Believe me, we know.
If you find yourself there today, don't give up, just start climbing & keep going no matter what!
"Pursue righteousness," it's not going to just come our way and fall in our lap, it takes effort on our part to live as God instructs.
Praying today, that we will be wise with what God gives us, that we will spend less than we earn, have the self control to save for the future, and the heart of wisdom to give to others as God leads.
