It seems like many people today lost in the area of personal finances. What’s the solution? Here are some questions to consider:
- Read Proverbs 28:26. What is a wise decision you have made financially?
- What is a foolish decision you have made financially? What was the cost (not only the financial cost)?
- Why does it make sense to take a percentage of your income and live of it?
- Are you tracking your spending? How?
- Are you staying out of debt? If not, what is your plan to get out of debt?
- Why is it important that giving be your first financial priority?
- Why is it important that we make saving your second financial priority?
- How would your life be different if you followed these steps?
I would also invite you to consider the financial principles found in the following questions and Bible text. Take this week to look up and study what God has to say to you about your financial life.
