BIBLE READING: Genesis 41:33-36
33 Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.
35 And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.
36 And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.
MESSAGE:
In today’s Bible reading, Joseph advised Pharaoh to store food during the years of plenty to prepare for the famine that was coming. As a result of his advice, Egypt and many other nations survived the famine.
My dear child, I implore you to develop the habit of saving for the future. Instead of spending all your allowance or earnings immediately, set aside a portion for future needs. Whether it is for your education, skill acquisition, a church project, or personal goals, being financially disciplined will ensure that you are prepared for unexpected challenges.
We live in an age where the latest gadgets, clothing, and online trends are constantly promoted. Many young people feel pressured to keep up with their peers by purchasing expensive items, which usually leads to wasteful spending. However, controlling yourself in financial matters is a display of responsibility and wisdom.
A simple method for managing money wisely is applying the “10-10-80 principle”: give 10% as tithe to God, save 10%, and budget the remaining 80% for essential expenses. Practising this principle will help you avoid financial stress and teach you the importance of accountability and Contentment.
KEY POINT:
Don’t spend all you get; save a portion of it.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Luke 4:1-32 Joshua 11-13
HYMN 67: I’m Pressing On The Upward Way
1 l’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining everyday;
Still praying as I onward bound
“Lord, plant my feet on higher
ground.”
Chorus:
Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith, on Heaven’s table-land;
Where love, and joy, and light
abound,
Lord, plant my feet on higher
ground.
2 My heart has no desire to stay
Where doubts arise, and fears
dismay;
Though some may dwell where
these abound,
My constant aim is higher ground.
3 Beyond the mist I fain would rise,
To rest beneath unclouded skies,
Above earth’s turmoil peace is found
By those who dwell on higher ground.
4 I long to scale the utmost height,
Though rough the way, and hard the fight,
My song, while climbing, shall resound
Lord, lead me on to higher ground.
5 Lord, lead me up the mountain side
I dare not climb without my Guide;
And, heaven gained, I’ll gaze around,
With grateful heart from higher ground.
