SERIES: FINANCIAL AND EMOTIONAL PREPARATION
Scripture Reading:
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33
��️ MEDITATION:
Financial and emotional preparation is essential for stability, effectiveness, and purpose fulfillment.
God entrusts resources, opportunities, and relationships to those who are prepared to handle them wisely.
Likewise, emotional readiness ensures that challenges, stress, and blessings are managed in faith and maturity.
Financial preparation involves wisdom, stewardship, saving, and generosity, while emotional preparation involves self-control, resilience, and trust in God. Both are interconnected—emotional stability allows wise financial decisions, and financial discipline protects emotional peace.
When you prepare your heart, mind, and finances, you become a vessel capable of sustaining blessings and walking in divine favor.
