My father taught me, Take my words to heart.

Follow my commands,
and you will live. Get wisdom; develop good judgment. Dont forget my
words or turn away from them.

with others.

Father, I commit to be wise with my finances and to owe no one anything

but to love them.
4. Proverbs 21:20: The wise have wealth and luxury, but fools spend
whatever they get.
5. Romans 13:8: Owe nothing to anyoneexcept for your obligation to
love one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the
requirements of Gods law.
6. Proverbs 22:7: Just as the rich rule the poor, so the borrower is
servant to the lender.
I will give and honor You, Lord, with all that I have. I will tithe and give
offerings as You lead me to give.

me! But you ask, What do you mean? When did we ever cheat you?
You have cheated me of the tithes and offerings due to me. You are

tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If
you do, says the Lord of Heavens Armies, I will open the windows of
heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you wont have enough
room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test!

Heavenly Father, I trust You with all I have this year and every year
because I know that You are the reason for every blessing in my life.
10. Jeremiah 17:7-8: Blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have
made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted
along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees
are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their
leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit.
