Biblical Principles for Financial Stewardship: A 5-Day Family DevotionalSample

Saving - Wisdom and Planning for the Future
Scripture Focus: Proverbs 21:20 - "The wise store up choice food and olive oil, but fools gulp theirs down."
Introduction:
Saving is an important aspect of managing the resources God has given us. It teaches us to plan wisely and to be prepared for the future. Saving also requires patience and the ability to delay gratification, which can help us grow in self-discipline.
Key Points:
- Saving vs. Hoarding: Saving is about planning for future needs, while hoarding is holding on out of fear. We save with trust in God’s provision.
- Wisdom in Saving: By saving, we prepare for unforeseen circumstances, like emergencies or special opportunities.
- The Value of Patience: Saving teaches us to wait for what we want, which is a valuable lesson in self-control.
Practical Activity:
Help children set a savings goal for something they want, like a toy or a book. Teach them how to budget and make a plan for reaching their goal, emphasizing the importance of patience.
Prayer Focus:
Pray for wisdom in making financial decisions and for the discipline to save and plan wisely. Ask God to help you use your resources in a way that honors Him.
