Memorize and Reflect

Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income. This too is meaningless. (Ecclesiastes 5:10)


Prayer Direction

Thank God for the blessings in your life, both material and non-material. Ask God to show you where your view of finances differs from His view. Pray for your heart, perspective and actions to more closely align with God’s will for your finances.


“Live It!” Challenge

Give something away this week. Ask God to show you what he wants you to give away and to whom. God may prompt you to give something to a complete stranger, a family in need, a co-worker, a friend, or a relative. Listen to God’s direction and take action.
