To deal with the stress of financial pressure, we need to handle money differently. We can't do what we've always done and expect to get different results. We must handle money in a new and different way as disciples of Jesus. What to make some change? Check out these four things that you can do to handle money differently.
- Realize that your significance isn't determined by what you can earn, save, or borrow. Your significance is defined by God. You matter to Him. When you know that you matter to God, you can trust Him for both your significance and for your provision.
- When you see God as the provider of your life, you get to enjoy all that He has given you. Learning to handle money God's way won't take away your enjoyment. He will make it complete. Do it your way and experience stress. Do it His way and experience His peace and His provision.
- If you are handling money God's way, you will be doing three things. You will be spending. You will be saving (or paying off debt). You will be giving. You can go three for three on this. Start today.
- Set up a budget this week. Don't wonder where your money when. Tell your money where to go. Make a plan for what you need and want. Attach a dollar value to every item. There you have it. Your budget is done.
