BIBLE ON FINANCES – SAVING

Saving is a prudent financial principle, and one which is often neglected and ignored. The sun may be shining brightly today, but there is no guarantee that it would be the same all through. Life is unpredictable. Saving, in that sense, is to prepare for the rainy day, when it is still sunny.

Such an approach to financial stability, speaks of wisdom and foresight. Therefore, saving is good, necessary and helpful, which acts as a buffer to cushion the tough times.

The Bible speaks clearly on being wise and to prepare in advance for any unforeseen times – “6 Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise, 7 Which, having no captain, Overseer or ruler, 8 Provides her supplies in the summer, And gathers her food in the harvest.”

“A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.”

“But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.” – Proverbs 6:6-8, 13:22, 1 Timothy 5:8

Let us wisely consider to set aside a part of our income, to save for the needs of the future. It is good and wise.
