Fresh air in our finances is such a good thing. It is really amazing to think of all the times that Jesus himself spoke about money, and how important it was to him that we not only be good stewards of what we are given, but that we are good managers as well. Our goal is to handle what God gives masterfully! Here are some good reminders if we want financial peace, and not financial pressure. 1) Give the first to God. I love that we can give online, but I also like the fact that we can bring our tithe to the church, either way, give God the first fruits. 2) Maintain margin in your finances. Have some breathing room, don’t always be spending up to your limit. It takes the pressure off! 3) Be disciplined. Have a plan, and work your plan. It is fun to be spontaneous occasionally, but don’t spontaneously go buy some big purchase that you will regret later. A plan gives you a course to follow that reflects your priorities and your values. Take the pressure off and have some peace! That will bring you some fresh air!
