Till our field

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

M An important Scripture is that we till our field before we build our house.  Given those agrarian times, wealth came from planting and harvesting.  You did not build a big residence, hoping for a bumper crop from your little acre. 

V What does ‘tilling our field’ look like today.  In a garden it starts with small seeds. Work, planting, weeding, overseeing for infestation, watering, and pruning of some resources.  Summarizing in two words:  Pay Attention.

For each person that means KNOW what’s coming in.  Keep track, monitor, adjust to the ‘weather.’ Translation to today: Better to have an affordable house regardless of unpredictable crops, than debt, credit costs, even bankruptcy.

M We love the clarity of Scripture.  Know Scripture, follow it and be wise.
