keeping money in perspective

countless books have been written about money-how to make it and how to keep it. but if you're a christian, you probably already own at least one copy-and probably several copies-of the worlds foremost guide to financial security. that book is the Holy Bible. God's Word is not only a road map to eternal life, it is also an indispensable guidebook for life here on earth. as such, the Bible has much to say about your life, your faith, and your finances.

is the Bible a lamp that guides your path? is God's Word your everyday guide for every facet of your life (including your finances), or is it a once-a-week text that you consult only on sunday mornings? do you read the Bible faithfully or sporadically? the answer to these questions will determine the direction of your thoughts, the direction of your day, and, in many cases, the condition of your financial fortunes.

God's Word reminds us again and again that our Creator expects us to lead disciplined lives. God doesn't reward laziness, misbehavior, or apathy. to the contrary, HE expects believers to behave with dignity and discipline......but the world tempts us to do otherwise. we live in a world in which leisure is glorified and indifference is often glamorized. but God has other plans. HE did not create us for lives of mediocrity; HE created us for far greater things.

life's greatest rewards seldom fall into our laps; to the contrary, our greatest accomplishments (including our financial accomplishments) usually require plenty of work, a heaping helping of wisdom, and a double dose of self discipline-which is perfectly fine with God. after all, HE knows that we're up to the task.

God's Word can be a road map to a place of righteous and abundance. make it your road map. God's wisdom can be a light to guide your steps. claim is as your light. God's Word can be an invaluable tool for crafting a better day and a better life. make it your tool. and finally, God's Word can help you organize your financial affairs in such a way that you have less need to worry and more time to celebrate. if that sounds appealing, keep reading the Word of God and obey what God has to say. good day all of you !
