Week 5 - FINANCIAL PLANNING |
|
|
|
"Live for the line not the dot"
Randy Alcorn, The Treasure Principle
|
This week's devotionals focus on God's vision for us: living out a financial plan that puts us in a stable financial position and results in peace. This road includes many challenges - hard work, good advisors, wise choices, and following a plan. I recommended that you work closely with a financial advisor.
Learn from the Master: Memory Verse
Proverbs 27:23
Be sure you know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds
In Proverbs, Solomon, the richest man to ever live, shares much of his wisdom on how to manage finances. He challenges us to ask advice, espouses hard work, expects a plan, and promises reward for sticking to your convictions!
These next devotionals are much more practical, so plan on spending whatever time you need in prayer so that you can get direction from God on carrying out the specific challenges.
Prayerfully, all of the devotionals in this series have led you to see God's plan, his will, his sovereignty and his belief that you can be a faithful steward of what he has entrusted you with.

Day 29 : Commit First |
|
|
|
Proverbs 16:3
Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.
- God assumes that you will make a plan!
- Pray over your finances and commit to God to be a faithful manager.
Proverbs 14:24
The wealth of the wise is their crown, but the folly of fools yields folly.
Expect success (reward) - if God is for us, who can be against us?
There is a reward for sticking with a plan, even if it is painful at first - it will pay off!
- What reward are you looking for?
- What do you consider "wealth"?
