Financial Planning does not start with a checkbook, a list of bills, a paycheck, or even a calculator. Financial Planning begins in the mind. What do you think about your finances? Do you think about them at all? Do you think money is a necessary evil? Are you obsessed with money? Do you lose sleep over it? Does it cause fights in your household? Do you wish you had more?
Do you think God cares about your money?
Wait. What? God? What does God have to do with my money?
Did you know the Bible has over 2,000 verses that talks about money? Yeah, I didn't either. Until I started digging. I had heard a little bit about this 'God talks about money in the Bible stuff' and as a financial advisor (at the time), I wanted to know what He had to say. Verses - and years! - later, I am still studying and learning. But what I found surprised me.
What God says about money is definitely different than what the world says about money. But that's not a bad thing - in fact, it is very, very good! God doesn't want you to worry, obsess or fight about money any more. He doesn't want to restrict you with a bunch of 'money rules' but He wants you to experience financial freedom in a whole new way.
So what does this mean? Sudden riches? Living in poverty? No and no.
If you follow the Biblical Financial Principles, you will be free from financial bondage. That is a promise of Scripture. What the result of that looks like, however - well, that will be different for everyone.
It's time to start thinking about money from a different perspective. God's perspective. Not the world's.
Ready? Let's start this journey together so you can see what God has in store for YOU!
