Day 11 – Stick to a Budget

“The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance and advantage, But everyone who acts in haste comes surely to poverty.” Proverbs 21:5

Praise the Lord that the times when our love was measured in gifts and our worth was in how well we entertained are gone! Whether you celebrate this season with gifts or just come together with loved ones, be sure to rather make what you do count in terms of letting everyone understand how precious they are, make something by hand, keep things simple to avoid competition, and feel the peace and joy that pervades the air where you are.

Prayer: Lord, You have taught us that Your love, wisdom, and knowledge are far more precious than gold. Teach us to understand that a helping hand, listening ear, and seeing eye are far more worth than what the world perceives as precious and that Your goals will be readily reached through these gifts which seem so small and insignificant, but yet fulfill the purposes of God… Here we are, Lord, use us. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
