New Year has always been something that I look forward to maybe because it gives me a new hope for greater things to come and a new chance to become better. For some people, it became a tradition to have new year's resolution. I think there's nothing wrong in making resolutions, themes or lists every new year. It can serve as our guide as we journey through the year. So as I welcome 2014, I also made a list of the things that I'm believing for this new year.
I am believing God for so many breakthroughs this year, one of which is in financial aspect. Yes, I am in faith that God will bless the work of my hands and will increase my sources of income this year. But I've realized that I have to do my part too. It says in the bible "When
someone has been given much, much will be required in return; and when
someone has been entrusted with much, even more will be required". This means that we are held responsible / accountable for the abundance that God will provide. I believe that as I'm claiming my financial breakthrough this year, I should seek wisdom & knowledge on how to properly manage my finances. I must admit that I have to break wrong mindset & habit in terms of handling finances and make self-control, practicality & discipline a lifestyle. So this year, it's just not enough to be expectant of God's blessings and provisions, I must also be committed to live below my means, to take control of my finances, to have a financial plan, to save and invest more & to offer it generously back to God.
I'd like to quote financial expert/blogger Marvin Germo "It is my greatest desire that each
one of us would start and end this year strong. This year is unlike any
other. Our country is growing and moving forward, its time for all of us
to also take our place and move forward. The Grace and Favor of God is
with us and for us. We can do all things because He is our strength!
With that, its time to dream dreams and turn those dreams into a
reality!".
I indeed want to start and finish strong financially this year. I hope you do too. May 2014 bring financial breakthroughs to all of us!
