Weekly Bible Verse – Wise People Save
In the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil, but a foolish man devours all he has. Proverbs 21:20 (NIV)
Once again we see how extremely practical the Bible turns out to be in its wisdom and advice. Why should we save some of our income and resources each month? Is this something we really need to worry about? Of course, most people would probably say it’s a good idea to save (though saying it and doing it appear to be two very different things in our society nowadays!). Now we see that this is much more than just simple common sense, rather it is Biblical wisdom!
Depending on the circles that you run in, you might have heard it said that you should not “presume” upon God (that usually means you shouldn’t go into more and more debt assuming that God will bail you out of whatever money problems you bring upon yourself). Maybe you know it as the story of Joseph shielding Egypt from seven years of famine. Quite possibly images of Dave Ramsey railing about the importance of an emergency fund run through your head. Maybe thoughts of your Grandmother’s advice to save up for a rainy day come to mind. Or you might have read it to your kids as the fable of the ant and the grasshopper. However you heard it, it means the same thing and it comes from the Bible – wise people do not “devour” all they have, instead they save up for their future needs (to keep Murphy from moving in your spare bedroom as Ramsey might say).
God bless and have a great week…
