Savings Depends on Spending

It’s Build Your Savings Day! Are you ordering your finances God’s way?

Saving money happens when you think about how you spend money. It demands self-control and postponing your wants. We don’t naturally gravitate toward sacrifice, but the Apostle Paul said:

 “…walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want.” (Galatians 5:16-17)

Now we don’t order our finances in such a way that we can spend whatever we want. We order our finances in such a way that God can spend us however He wants.
