Moneywalk 147: Rest for Your Weary Soul

In financial and non-financial realms of your life it is your spirit lead by the Holy Spirit that should control your flesh. Your flesh should not control your spirit or refuse the leading of the Holy Spirit because you don’t think a particular direction or instruction is pleasing or fulfilling. Allowing your flesh to control gives satan mentorship of your life and allows ungodly character traits to develop in you and in turn brings turmoil and negativity in your life that continually torments you. This is not God’s best for you. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life that brings rest to your weary soul but you must seek Him and His ways in order to truly find this rest. He will lead you closer to Him and into those character traits and practices that will truly allow you to rest no matter what external circumstances appear to be (Hebrews 13:5). The traits to be sought are the fruit of the Spirit and the practices include those that we currently think of as spiritual (prayer, praise, worship, bible study, regular fellowship, etc.) as well as tithing, budgeting, not creating bills larger than your current means, debt elimination, saving, investing, diversification, and expecting God’s favor to provide your need and desire so that you’re able to continue to live according to His financial plan for your life.

May God bless you richly as you follow His plan!
