Counting the Cost: Jesus on Wise Financial Planning
Explore Jesus' teaching on counting the cost and apply His wisdom to managing finances with faith, prudence, and stewardship.
📖 Introduction
Managing finances wisely is a vital aspect of living a balanced and faithful Christian life. Jesus’ parable about building a tower reminds us that before we embark on any endeavor—financial or otherwise—we need to count the cost carefully. “For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?” (Luke 14:28).
Financial planning is not just about numbers or budgets; it’s about stewardship—recognizing that everything we have is entrusted to us by God. This study plan will guide you through seven days of scriptures and reflections to help you grasp the biblical principles of wise financial planning, trusting God, and making decisions that honor Him.
Over the next week, we will explore how to apply Jesus’ teaching in practical ways as we examine concepts like counting costs, avoiding debt, saving for the future, giving generously, and trusting God through every step. Whether you are managing household expenses, planning investments, or simply learning to give and save responsibly, these lessons will inspire you to put faith first in all financial decisions.
Let’s embark on this journey together, opening our hearts to God’s wisdom so that our financial lives glorify Him and reflect His provision and grace. 🏦📖🙏
