‘Take a lesson from the ants…they labour hard all summer, gathering food for the winter.’ Proverbs 6:6-8.
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 unlocks us 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). 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 (1 Timothy 5:8). God will bless your plan; if you have one for Him to bless. Do you? One illness or accident can deplete all you have. One long-term injury can change your 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 that 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.
