so
why do we save? the CHRISTian saves for
stewardship reasons. three reasons for
saving:
1. it prevents us from impulse buying. we don’t spend money on foolish
impulses. if we’re not saving it, the
tendency is to spend it as soon as we get it.
you’ll see things you want and buy it and you really don’t need it.
proverbs
21.20 (niv), the wise man saves for the future, but the foolish man spends
whatever he gets. he does it too
hastily too. you’ve got to save it so
you don’t use it on foolish impulses.
2. it allows us to be able to help other people
when they have need. we save in order to
help others. that is so great to have
money and give it to someone who really needs it. we’ve also had the blessing of receiving from
people who’ve helped us in a time of need.
3. it gets your money working for you rather
than you working for your money. that’s
the principle of investment. when you’re
saving your money it’s being invested wisely.
just
a thought from the front porch…
