Justin Renton — Tomorrow Matters
Proverbs 6:6–8 God calls us to learn from the ant. The ant knows tomorrow matters.
Proverbs 21:20 The wise store up, the fools gulp theirs down.
The parable of the talents/money. Matthew 25: 19–21
When God gives you resources he expects you to use it wisely.
- Don't invest in things you don't understand. Proverbs 24:3–4 Wisdom, knowledge and understanding is important in investments. Do research, ask questions.
- Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Ecclesiastes 11:2 Diversify your investments. There's no one good thing.
- Don't try get rich quick. 1 Timothy 6:9 When greed enters your life it can destroy your soul. Consider using the 10:10:80 principle—Give to God, Save, and Live on the rest. Don't live beyond your means.
Proverbs 13:11 Wealth from get-rich schemes disappear quickly. Wealth from hard work grows over time.
