‘Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans’ (Proverbs 16:3)
My husband and I have hopes and dreams to own a property of our own. Now only Father God can make this a reality. We have had little success in our attempts so far in saving for a deposit for various different reasons which really don’t suffice.
For 2015, we have committed to be better financial stewards and make greater sacrifices to save more.
A church sister of mine, knowing my intention, offered a love offering of £10 to put towards our deposit, how sweet!
I popped into my local branch to pay it in today. Now our goal is 2000x that amount. When thinking of the task ahead it seems very daunting. However a journey of 1000 miles must begin with one step (Chinese Proverb).
So out of the 2000 £10’s I need I’ve already have 1! How cool is that? Just 1999 to go!
So mine is a journey of 2000 £10 steps!
These Proverbs will also be a reminder to me of the journey that we are embarking on and commiting to.
Proverbs 13:11, Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.
Proverbs 10:4a, A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.
