Sound Financial Planning

How some people spend their monthly income:

Income

less 

Expenses

---------------

Savings

The problem with this approach is that usually, not much is left of the fund for savings. 

So, most financial planners advise this budgeting practice:

Income

less 

Savings

--------------

Expenses

With this budgeting approach, you are forced to allocate a portion of your savings and will just have to make do with whatever is left for your habitual expenses.

But wait. There's a better way...

Let's add a spiritual approach to this financial planning practice:

Income

less 10% Tithe

less 10% Savings

-----------------

Expenses

Some would say this recommended method is too much as nothing will be left anymore for the budgetary expenses. 

But this is part of the discipline and in the process, you get to practice your faith. After all, doesn't God own everything? (Psalm 24:1) 

So what is giving back a portion to the Lord? As God has promised, to test Him in this and if you keep the faith, He will bless you abundantly if you tithe regularly. (Malachi 3:10). And since tithing is biblical, it is your way of honoring the Lord and remembering Him that He is the one who gives you the ability to produce wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18).
