Fund your future.
Most Americans are not financially prepared for their future. Studies show that as many as 90 percent of us are not on track to be able to comfortably retire. Too many people have bought into the lie that one day when we have more money we can start planning for the future. That kind of thinking is what ensures retirement never comes.
Setting aside $50 one time won’t change your financial future. However, setting aside a little bit of money consistently over a long period of time will build great rewards for the future. There’s no amount too small to start saving and no better time than now. You may not be a millionaire, lottery winner or stock broker, but that doesn’t mean you can’t start saving. Daily diligence with what you have can lead to long-term benefit.
Jesus has an incredible future planned for us, and when we save what we’ve been given, we free ourselves to act on what God wants to bring us in the future.
Think About:
1. What three words would you use to describe your feelings about your financial future?
2. Saving doesn’t have to mean setting aside large sums of money each month. What one thing can you change to start saving today?
3. How have you seen steady diligence pay off in other areas of your life? Why would the outcome be any different when it comes to money?
Pray:
Jesus, You knew I would need Your salvation before I was even born. You were with God at the creation of the world and made a way for me to know God before I was a thought in my parents’ minds. Thank You for being a planner. Help me to be a planner, too.
