Every person who places careful thought into their ways is a discerning person. Because of that trait, he is able to discern and understand how systems and things work and can even predict the future outcomes of some activities going on today. Solomon had this. That is why he wrote that the heart of the discerning acquires knowledge.
Never think you are too wise to evade taxes. Just be diligent with money. Don’t cheat and cut corners in your finance handling lifestyle. It will do you no good. In fact, it is nice to be a law-abiding believer who isn’t at fault with any government law. You’ll just have your peace to live unto God.
Delve into the Word to uncover your inheritance waiting for you. Also, remember that God’s principles were established not merely for your benefit but primarily for God’s glory.
The second part of Proverbs 13:10 says that wisdom is found in those who take advice. That means when a person is humble enough to listen to what others say, even if it’s a rebuke, that person is wise. So wisdom is not all about what you already know and apply; it is also about adding new learnings to your life from people.
Chasing fantasies is one of the most dangerous activities a person can ever do. It’s just like chasing the wind. You will get nowhere with it since the wind blows whichever way it wants.
You must be intentional about sealing every area of your life with Christ, so you give no space to the enemy. Sometimes, side gigs to make you more busy solve this issue. But the ultimate solution is putting on Christ. Once you forget to do that, you give the devil space to exploit your time.
Can I tell you something? You may have plenty of needs you present before God. But if it’s about money, ask for wisdom. Go for wisdom and knowledge, and God will add wealth to it. In fact, when you have wisdom and knowledge, it’ll be easier to manage wealth when it comes.
God can make you wise also, if and only if you ask Him (see James 1:5). Why? Because God wants more people to be impacted by His Word. So, don’t be satisfied with constantly receiving from the Lord’s servants; also, be conscious of giving out gracious words to others.
Don’t be caught in a web succumbing to unending addictions. Sometimes, withdraw and think about where your life is going with such addictions. If it is bad, get back on track with God, lest you jeopardise your future.
Social media is designed to keep you engaged at all times. Living this way, you might miss the real focus of life, disconnect from your fellow Christians, and find yourself isolated—becoming the perfect target for the evil one. So be wise and control the internet; don’t let it control you.
Many people have not accelerated high above their financial goals because they spend much of what they earn on unnecessary things. If you are one of such people, you need discipline. But this discipline I’m talking about isn’t the one that is self-motivated but God-inspired.
Save, but prioritise investing. It’ll help you in the long run. If it’s money, invest. If it’s your skill, invest in your education to upgrade it. If it is your spiritual gift, harness it to bless lives, and you’ll improve. Don’t let whatever you have in you that will benefit many remain dormant.
