Knowing God’s word is essential, but it won’t do you any good if you fail to follow its directions. If you’re struggling with money, living paycheck to paycheck, maybe it's time to put God’s financial principles into practice. We’ll tell you how today on Faith and Finance.
Isaiah 43 highlights that God is doing something new and will provide a way.
Rely on biblical truths, such as those in Hebrews 4:12, can guide financial actions and mindset.
Psalm 24:1 emphasizes that everything belongs to God, shifting the perspective from personal ownership to stewardship.
Embracing this principle can change one's mindset about money management, knowing that it's God's resources you're managing.
TRUSTING IN GOD'S PROVISION:
Scriptures like Luke 12:24 affirm that God provides and cares for His creation.
Using the Bible as a financial guide can help in areas of spending, saving, investing, and debt reduction.
PRACTICAL STEPS TO MANAGING MONEY:
Begin by choosing one biblical financial principle, like saving as per Proverbs 21:20.
Taking steps such as developing a budget can help in effectively managing finances.

SEEKING ACCOUNTABILITY:
Changing financial habits is more effective with the support and encouragement of others.
Find an accountability partner to check in regularly, boosting chances of success.
Proverbs 11:14 and 27:17 stress the importance of guidance, counsel, and mutual support.
CONCLUSION:
Implementing biblical principles and tools can lead to transformative financial changes and reduced worries about money.
