So what's your plan? Do you name your dollars before the month begins? Or do you wait around and survey the damage later on?
Give every dollar a name-mortgage, credit card bill, groceries, car repairs. Name them all. Once you have a plan and a purpose, you'll be well on your way to creating financial peace and changing your family tree forever!
The wires of this life are running thin. Invest your life, health and possessions in God and His work...He promises great dividends...for all eternity!
Managing our money is part of God's plan. Over 2000 scripture verses refer to money. It is also why the enemy will try and trick us in every way to gain hold of this area of our lives.
Do God's strategies for financial success really apply to us today? How can we wrap our natural thinking around God's process for obedient stewardship? Knowledge, determination and obedience can lead us down a financially free path.
When we establish a giving mindset and determine to believe God's Word next comes the discipline in determining to put Him first.

Why is it so easy to get in trouble with our finances: Very subtly the lure of money can lead to the lust of money then to the loss of money and ultimately to a life that lacks money! In Part 1 we talked about the Lure of Money, now let's continue with the Lust, Loss & Lack of Money.
Money will always continue to lure and influence people. America has become the "me" nation that likes to accumulate things. People who have garages can't park their cars in them as they are too filled with other things. We collect stuff to make us feel better, our life easier, for a break in the mundane or to impress others, but what is the end result - more stuff to store. Storage companies can't build fast enough!
Money is an issue that can tear a family apart. It is a volatile subject that must be approached and dealt with. Ignoring or refusing to deal with the issues of money can deal a deathblow to a relationship. Before money issues become a driving wedge, determine a course of preventative action. With so many families blending together bringing her money and his money or more likely her debt and his, it is even more important to determine a head of time how the finances will be taken care of.
