SERIES: FINANCIAL AND EMOTIONAL PREPARATION
Scripture Reading:
“Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.” Proverbs 3:9–10
��️ MEDITATION:
Financial and emotional preparation is incomplete without generosity, savings, and guarding your heart.
God blesses those who honor Him with their resources, while emotional stability protects you from stress, resentment, and impulsive decisions.
Generosity opens doors for divine favor. Savings provide security for unforeseen challenges. Emotional guarding ensures that you do not react negatively to stress, pressure, or financial trials.
These habits together build a foundation for abundance, peace, and long-term success.
Prepared believers are both wise and generous, both disciplined and emotionally steady.
