"Once I saw where my mismanagement took me - to the cliff's edge - I reached for the rope of hope, God and what He said about money management." Rev. Lorenzo L. Heard We need to recognize that managing money is a spiritual issue. Did you know that Jesus spoke more about money than He did about any other issue? Why did money matter so much to Him? To Jesus, our attitude toward money is of utmost importance because it is a reflection of our attitude toward God! Everything we have comes from God. He owns it and He entrusts it to us to use for His purposes. True success - financial and otherwise - comes not by accumulating a large surplus in our bank accounts, but by following God's plan for our finances. As we do this, God will provide for all of our needs. Are money problems rearing their ugly heads and causing tension in your family? Has it been difficult for you to manage your finances? Is it tough to determine where you really stand financially? If so, consider "Lessons in Money Management" as a plan to successful money management.
