The principle of financial planning

 Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops. Proverbs 3:9 (NIV)

How do you honor God with your money?

Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth. Proverbs 10;4 (NIV)

You appreciate your job as God’s gift to create wealth

Be sure you know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds; for riches do not endure forever, and a crown is not secure for all generations. When the hay is removed and new growth appears and the grass from the hills is gathered in, the lambs will provide you with clothing, and the goats with the price of a field. You will have plenty of goats’ milk to feed your family and to nourish your female servants. Proverbs 27:23-27 (NIV)

You make a budget in order to pay attention to your finances

The wise store up choice food and olive oil, but fools gulp theirs down. Proverbs 21:20 (NIV)

You save and invest for the unexpected and for future opportunities to bless

Dishonest money dwindles away, but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow. Proverbs 13:11 (NIV)

You commit to being faithfully consistent over time
