Start Right Proverbs 3: 9

I’m Miriam Neff, and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, with Wise Women Managing Money

M You see that paycheck hit your bank account; you acquire money.  What is your first and smartest move?

V  Proverbs 3: 9  Honor the Lord with your substance and with the first fruit’s of all your produce.  That means put aside a set amount for Kingdom purposes.  The second-best step is to put aside something for savings.  That percent varies by age and your income.  But that’s second after first giving back to God. 

M  What Kingdom purpose has God laid on your heart?  Some examples are our widow projects, and giving to your church.  What’s important is that FIRST expenditure.  That act shows God your dependence on him and your obedience.
