PHASE 2 – LIVE THE JOURNEY
As we read all of these values I believe it all boils down to being
faithful. Taking responsibility for what we have been given and
working well with it. Then you will see the increase. Having a good
financial value system will create a strong foundation upon which
you can now manage your finances.
FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT:
The health of our finances rises and falls at how we manage our
finances. Managing your finances is like building the walls of your
house. Even if you have a wonderfully strong foundation ―values‖
but no idea how or what to build, it‘s going to go horribly wrong,
and you will feel defeated no sooner than when you started. So it‘s
vital to have a vison, a plan, tools and materials to build with.
No two houses look the same, and so too with peoples finances,
however it is important to have structure to your finances. Here are
some suggestions that could radically strengthen your finances.
So let‘s start with our vision. The bible says that without vision we
perish.
Proverbs 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he
that keeps the law, happy is he.
When one builds a house, he has a dream ―a vision‖ which then
becomes the plan from which you build. That vision is often built
up from the desires of the heart. So if we align our desires to honor
God in our finances, it‘s crucial that our vision is based upon the
will and kingdom of God, for then our planning will go accordingly
and then there will be less of a margin for error in our building.
Matthew 6:21 Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your
heart will also be.
