Besides the people God leads you to for help in fine tuning your financial priorities, there are also a number of other resources available to assist you. Some are on-line, some in short articles you read, and others in the form of a brochure or pamphlet. I can't cover them all here, but I'll mention a couple that I have used and like.
One is an on-line tool called the Financial Final Four, which works just like filling out your brackets during March Madness, But unstead of picking college basketball teams you pick from a menu of financial priorities. You pick the match-ups and the winners who move on to each subsequent round, until you end up with your final four financial priorities. Then you decide the most important in the last two rounds.
There is also the Crown Money Map, which helps you determine your life purpose and goals, and then takes you through six life destination steps with each one focused on various financial priorities to help you discover what yours are as well as some components to go into your budget. Each step along the way is supported by scripture.
There are other resources available as well to help you determine your financial priorities, along with the wise counsel God directs you to. The point is, as you are moving along the journey of being an effective Steward over the financial blessings God brings into your life, establish your financial priorities before deciding how you will use those blessings which is what budgeting is all about and which I'll touch upon in the next Post.
