Today I read Proverbs 10:5, in which we are encouraged to store when there is plenty. Today I considered that any time you are facing a surplus, there is an opportunity to store and prepare for times of lack.

Storing In Good Times

God tells us to prepare during the good times or we are causing shame. “He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame” (Proverbs 10:5 KJV). Preparing is also considered prudent.

Questions and Thoughts for Today

Sometimes when we go through a period of lack, we want to treat ourselves and completely splurge as soon as we get any surplus. While God wants us to enjoy life, God also wants us to store up or gather up during the good times. So, we should consider using any surplus to do both, to wisely store up along with treating ourselves.

How will you split any extra income or resources so that you both enjoy live and prepare for emergencies?
