Gathering Little By Little

Posted on June 24th, 2008 by Pastor Jeff in Uncategorized

Getting an instant payday loan is usually the first reaction of many people with regular jobs who encounter sudden needs, emergencies or sudden financial strains. It is usually the easier thing to do when a family member suddenly needs to be taken to the hospital and funds are really low or when the baby needs milk and the next payday is still a few days away. There are, in fact, online services that help people obtain secure, online cash advances and payday loans where signing up and qualifying for one can be made quick and easy and electronically deposit the payday loan amount directly into people’s checking or savings account, offering flexible options for payment and discreet service.

But another way to get through emergencies and sudden financial needs that arise, as modeled by nature through the ant, is by saving. Including a certain amount proportional to one’s regular income as savings in one’s budget is a wise thing to do and is the Biblical way to becoming rich as written by the richest man of his time, King Solomon, “he who gathers money little by little makes it grow” (Proverbs 13:11). Try this for a time and find motivation when that money starts to grow, and you’ll have something to hold on to during emergencies.
