UCB WORD FOR TODAY STRESSED OUT ABOUT MONEY? (1) Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You. Psalms 56:3 The solution to financial worry isnt necessarily having more money. Indeed, the more money you have, the more you have to lose. And the thought of losing it can cause you to worry more, not less. Its a vicious circle. Trying to find security in money is like tying a boat to a dock; when a big enough storm comes along, the ropes will break and itll be swept away. So since we all wonder when the next economic storm will hit, whats the answer? More rope? Stronger rope? Tighter knots? No--that just gives you knots in your stomach! For the next few days lets look at some Bible answers to money worries: Tackle your fear head-on. The Psalmist said, Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You. Now, since David was a king, he probably didnt worry a lot about money. But he did worry about his enemies stalking him, catching him off guard and killing him. We each have different areas of worry, and the ones that control us are called core fears. Sometimes you can keep them at bay; other times they control and consume you and make you act in ways youre not proud of. Christian financial advisor Ron Blue says that for years he was trapped by the fear of not having enough money, or losing what he had. The people around him didnt know it, but thats what drove him. Today hes a best-selling author and financial counsellor to multitudes. But to get there he had to confront his core fear, and trust more in God than he did in himself. And so will you.
