Hi Peeps,Today’s Quote
“When you don’t have a budget for your own ideas, work, and faith, you are telling God and people that you don’t support what you do, believe, and think, which will have little to no value to people and God.” ~ Jon Barnes
Your
Your best efforts are not your thoughts and words, but the actions of your thoughts and words carried out in your daily activities, by faith in God. These motives are carried out because in your heart, you really believe God’s Word and you will pay the cost to follow Him. Being Cheap is not an option.
Assets
Using your personal assets to uphold, share, and shine the love of God is a service only you can provide. God will judge how well you manage your assets for Kingdom business and family affairs. Everything else will budget itself in order of priority, proficiency, and efficiency.
Accordingly
The convictions of your good actions come from God and you should act accordingly. Take the time and resources that are needed to start and finish each job and notice the wonderful steps of progress that will occur. You have the budget and the know-how, so get it done.
Today’s Question
Did you spend all of your budget on your greedy self, leaving nothing for God?

Job 17
Job Continues to Defend His Innocence
17 “My spirit is crushed,
and my life is nearly snuffed out.
The grave is ready to receive me.
2 I am surrounded by mockers.
I watch how bitterly they taunt me.

3 “You must defend my innocence, O God,
since no one else will stand up for me.
4 You have closed their minds to understanding,
but do not let them triumph.
5 They betray their friends for their own advantage,
so let their children faint with hunger.
since no one else will stand up for me.

6 “God has made a mockery of me among the people;
they spit in my face.
7 My eyes are swollen with weeping,
and I am but a shadow of my former self.
8 The virtuous are horrified when they see me.
The innocent rise up against the ungodly.
9 The righteous keep moving forward,
and those with clean hands become stronger and stronger.

10 “As for all of you, come back with a better argument,
though I still won’t find a wise man among you.
11 My days are over.
My hopes have disappeared.
My heart’s desires are broken.
12 These men say that night is day;
they claim that the darkness is light.
13 What if I go to the grave[a]
and make my bed in darkness?
14 What if I call the grave my father,
and the maggot my mother or my sister?
15 Where then is my hope?
Can anyone find it?
16 No, my hope will go down with me to the grave.
We will rest together in the dust!”
