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 31 : Work Diligently |
|
| |
| |
Proverbs 14:23
All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.
Proverbs 21:5
The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.
- Pray for your financial behavior (spending habits) and not just your knowledge to change.
- Work with your advisor to identify all of the financial resources you need to make your plan including any books, budgeting resources, financial papers/ records, and previous budgets and spending information.
- Commit to working your plan after it is in place. A budget without
accountability will not help you manage the money that God entrusted you with.
