Budgeting

Which of you, wishing to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost to see if he has the resources to complete it? …

Honor the LORD with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your crops;

The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender.

Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.

Be sure to know the state of your flocks, and pay close attention to your herds;

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.

Walk in the manner of the ant, O slacker; observe its ways and become wise. …

Precious treasures and oil are in the dwelling of the wise, but a foolish man consumes them.

Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.

Now it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.
