AVOID A LIFESTYLE OF WASTE
โThe wise have wealth and luxury, but fools spend whatever they get.โ โ Proverbs 21:20, NLT.
A person who wastes time, money and resources is always in need. Luke 15:13-14 (NLT) says: โA few days later this younger son packed all his belongings and moved to a distant land, and there he wasted all his money in wild living. About the time his money ran out, a great famine swept over the land, and he began to starve.โ
A saver will enjoy abundance. Proverbs 21:20 (AMP) says: โThere is precious treasure and oil in the house of the wise [who prepare for the future].โ A waster does not value the little things. God will not bring increase if you mismanage the little, He gives you per time. After Jesus fed the multitude, He told the disciples to pick up the fragments.
John 6:12-13 (NLT) ~ โAfter everyone was full, Jesus told his disciples, โNow gather the leftovers, so that nothing is wasted.โ So they picked up the pieces and filled twelve baskets with scraps left by the people who had eaten from the five barley loaves.โ God increases graces and anointings upon people who maximize their potentials and capacity.
Paul told the Corinthians in 2 Corinthians 6:1 (AMP) ~ โWorking together with Him, we strongly urge you not to receive Godโs grace in vain [by turning away from sound doctrine and His merciful kindness].โ Time is precious, always occupy yourself with something meaningful. Ephesians 5:16 (AMP) ~ โMaking the very most of your time [on earth, recognizing and taking advantage of each opportunity and using it with wisdom and diligence], because the days are [filled with] evil.โ
Prayer for today:
Oh Lord, help me to maximize my time and resources and be a saver of money, Amen.
