Develop A Financial Budget

All that you have is a blessing from God. By establishing a financial budget, you have better opportunities to honor God with the finances He has given to you.

Scripture:

Luke 14:28-30
"For which of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if he has enough to complete it? Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish it, all who observe it begin to ridicule him, saying ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish’."

Details:

• Be intentional about developing a budget. Sit down and make a plan. It may be for a season of life, or it may be an annual budget plan.
• Check out online resources. Use calculators and budget formats that are available.
  
• Attend Financial Peace University courses offered each semester at Southcliff.
• Include God in your budget. Study the principle of the tithe in the Scripture.
