Financial Planning
May 27, 2010
‘Take a lesson from the ants...they labour hard all summer, gathering food for the winter.’ Proverbs 6:6-8 NLT
Your income-producing years are limited so don’t waste them. Move while you can! Some Christians think that any mention of money is carnal; as a result they end up ensnared by poor planning and misguided spirituality. Now old age and lost income have left them saddled with bills they can’t pay and children who can’t take care of themselves, much less their aging parents. Poverty is a silent prison that needs no walls and no chains; it locks us in without options and without hope. But it doesn’t have to be that way if you plan wisely and stick to your plan. The Bible teaches financial planning; it says: ‘A good man leaves an inheritance for his children’s children…’ (Proverbs 13:22 NIV) Don’t allow anyone to convince you that God minds you having money. He doesn’t; He just minds money having you! God is a planner and a provider and He expects you to be one too. (See 1 Timothy 5:8) God will bless your plan; if you have one for Him to bless. Do you? One illness or one accident can deplete all you have. One long-term injury can change life as you know it now. If the last few years have taught us anything, it’s this: jobs end and companies close; stocks fall and banks fail. That doesn’t mean you should avoid planning, investing or working. No, it just means after you’ve done all that wisdom demands, trust in nothing but God! He’s your provider, your protector, and the giver of every good income-producing idea you’ll ever have.
