Recently my husband and I talked about the bad decisions we made early on in life.
From leaving our jobs for an unprofitable business to purchasing a home we couldn’t afford to leasing a $30,000 car. (Yes, we actually leased a car and yes we had to turn it in after four years.)
He simply shook his head in disbelief as we recounted how far we’ve come over the years. We laughed at my tendency to be rather “deep” about things and his tendency to “go with the flow”. We’ve learned the hard way that making good decisions is very biblical and still very practical.
Jesus never called us to live a life contrary to His word. He called us to abide in His word, so His words would abide in us (John 15:7). So what does this mean when it comes to paying your bills? It means, if you have so much of God’s word in you, then God will ALWAYS lead you to make the right decisions… and his leading is never emotional. I repeat. God never leads us down an emotional road.
We do.
God is a God of practicality.
If 1 plus 1 doesn’t equal 2, then you should check the calculator you’re using. God will always add his super to our natural, but we’ve got to do our part. So if you’re in the middle of a making a major decision right now, then stop and think about the long-term impact and take your time to ensure you’re making the right decision.
Trust me. You’ll be so glad you did.
I love you and I’m praying for you.
