Proverbs 13:8
A person’s riches may ransom their life, but the poor cannot respond to threatening rebukes. -Proverbs 13:8
Dear Heavenly Father,
Even in this ancient text you remind people that you give everyone an opportunity to make profit from their efforts and to save money. Keep me from being self righteously poor in my own perspective of myself. Give me the wisdom to find the balance between saving and sharing. Help me to keep away from wasteful spending that prevents me from being positioned to help myself and others later. Make me money wise in a faith based way. All I have comes from you. Don’t let me waste any of it.
Amen
Pastor Don Patterson
Managing possessions is a privilege and responsibility.
