Men and women of character can. What kind of person are you? You’ve heard similar warnings. If you don’t study you’ll fail the test, if you don’t save, you won’t have money when you need it.
God wants us to anticipate future needs and prepare for them. We can’t expect him to come to our rescue when we cause our own problems through lack of planning and action. He provides for us, but he also expects us to be responsible. (reference Proverbs 20:3-9)
“Thought For The Day” No one is without sin. As soon as we confess our sin and repent, sinful thoughts and actions begin to creep back into our minds and hearts. We all need ongoing cleansing, moment by moment. Thank God for providing forgiveness by His mercy when we ask for it. Make confession and repentance a part of your talks with God. Rely on him moment by moment for the cleansing you need.
