Taking On Too Much

She considers a [new] field before she buys or accepts it [expanding prudently and not courting neglect of her present duties by assuming other duties]; with her savings [of time and strength] she plants fruitful vines in her vineyard. - Proverbs 31:16

Living beyond your means. It can take it's toll on you and eventually rob you of your joy and your peace. This can be avoided by simply using a little wisdom. Do you really need it? Can you afford it? Do you have time for it? Most importantly, did God tell you to do it? Acting in faith when God told you to do something is totally different than jumping headlong into something then expecting God to cover you. Remember the devil tried to coax Jesus into throwing himself down from a high place saying "He will give His angels charge over you…" - don't fall for the devil's old tricks. Don't let the devil trick you into throwing yourself down from the place of being an overcomer to being under his yoke of slavery - the "world's way of doing things" - always under the gun, over-extended, always financially strapped, never enough time for your family, etc. Will God help you out of a mess if you ask Him? Of course, but why go through it if you can avoid it in the first place? Wisdom says it is much better to pray, and act on faith instead of impulse.




May God Bless you EXCEEDINGLY, ABUNDANTLY, ABOVE ALL YOU CAN ASK OR THINK!
