As mentioned in the last Post, the first thing you need to understand if you are to stay on track with your budget is that the devil will do everything he can to discourage you, get you off track and take all you have.
The Word of God tells us that the thief comes to steal, kill and destroy; and that your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion seeking whom he can destroy. Satan wants you defeated, broken and in financial bondage and will do everything he can to keep you there or get you there. But the only tools he had to do this are deceitfullness, trickery, and our willingness which comes about when we take our eyes off of the Word of God and start looking at our circumstances.
So this is why you have to understand and be constantly aware and alert to what the devil is up to. However, since he is a spiritual being you can't resist him on your own but need to mix faith and self- discipline with your will to rise above his attempts to get you off track from your budget as the second point in the last Post stated. The same scripture that tells us that the thief or devil comes to steal, kill and destroy also tells us that Jesus (the Word of God) came to give us abundant life. So that's why our will to stay on track with our budget, a choice or decision we make, coupled with the exercising of our faith and self-discipline are key to staying on track with our budget.
We'll talk about how faith and self-discipline mix with your will to help keep you on track with your budget in the next Post.
