DAY 22
THE PURPOSE OF YOUR MONEY
God gave you money in order to help you fulfill His purpose for your life. That’s why it’s important for you to manage your money according to His financial principles.
Evaluate what the purpose of your money is. Are you spending according to that purpose?
Being financially free makes you able to respond to God’s leading. He does not give us money simply to spend as we desire.
If you handle money according to your own purposes, then money will become the driving force of your life.
Ask yourself: “What am I spending my life energy to accomplish? What did God really call me to do? And, how does money fit into that calling?”
Christ is the most valuable gift that you possess. So, while you’re on this earth, use money to advance His kingdom and not to build your own.
The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it. (Matthew 13:44-46)
Today's action item:
Today, ask yourself if you're spending your money according to God's purpose for your life. If you still feel like money is controlling you, what steps do you need to take to change that? Is He asking you to give more, start saving, or spend differently? Write down your answers.
