(Pastor Bill Hybels spoke this morning on The coral ridge hour , Great info for all of us!)
There is one 6 letter word that goes along with being content "ENOUGH"
What is it that really matters in life? Less is sometimes more. Philp 4:11-13
Not having Hope, in wealth that is so uncertain.
God's financial plan
1. To earn money and earn it honestly
2. To live within your means
3. To have margin in your life
4.To avoid debt like the plague
5.To save and invest generously
6.To give generously to those in need
7. To Honor God and give to your church
8. To Trust in God as your provider, not your portfolio, not your 401k
It works if you are young or if you are older, if you make a lot of money , or not a lot of money.
We live in a broken world, and when downturns happen they ruthlessly expose any weaknesses in current strategies. ( We are not in control )
( 1 st Timothy 6 :17-19) vs 17 "Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life."
