Identifying Our Problem

I’m Miriam Neff with WWMM and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan.

M Let’s get real.  What is our: yours and mine, greatest money problem?  “I make too small in income.  My spouse is irresponsible.  I want more than I can afford.”

V Consider this.  Very likely our money problem is lack of contentment.  Scripture tells us we can be content in all circumstances.  Philippians 4: 11. We want a bigger house that we can comfortably afford.  Maybe our future income will grow to accommodate our desire. We acquire that big mortgage.  We need transportation.  A new car delivered to my door.  Sweet!  The list goes on.  Our children are watching.  Maybe listening to the arguments over money. 

M Start with this basic truth.  It’s all God’s on loan for us to steward wisely.  There’s our motivation. A sure foundation for God dependence.
