Your money management should align with biblical principles of stewardship. Here's a practical roadmap based on Solomon's wisdom from Proverbs:

Track Your Resources Carefully "Be sure you know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds" (Proverbs 27:23-24, NIV). Keep detailed records of your assets, expenses, and income to maintain good stewardship of what God has provided.

Create and Follow a Budget "The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty" (Proverbs 21:5, NIV). Develop a monthly budget that tracks income and expenses, helping you stay financially responsible and prepared for the future.

Save Consistently "Dishonest money dwindles away, but he who gathers money little by little makes it grow" (Proverbs 13:11, NIV). Practice regular saving—not hoarding—to prepare for both emergencies and opportunities to bless others.

Eliminate Debt "The borrower is servant to the lender" (Proverbs 22:7, NIV). Take decisive steps to reduce and eliminate debt. Practice restraint in spending and learn to be content with what you have. Remember, it's okay to say "no" to unnecessary purchases.

Following these biblical principles will help you become a better steward of your resources while maintaining focus on what truly matters—your relationship with Jesus.
