Costly Lack Of Spending!

We don't have to spend in order to pay a high price for something. To not spend can sometimes be just as costly or perhaps even more so. For example, the lack of spending money for preventative maintenance on a car or house can lead to more costly repairs or even complete replacement. Investing the time to keep things in good repair can save in the long run.

For what are we spending our lives? In what are we investing our energy and time? Are we mindful of preparation for the eternity to come? Are we striving to keep our lives in good running order?

Solomon noted.
"POVERTY AND DISGRACE COME TO HIM WHO IGNORES INSTRUCTION, but whoever heeds reproof is honored." ( Proverbs 13:18 ESV)

A poorer person we will be should we ignore the need for time spent in instruction. It is important to continue seeking a greater UNDERSTANDING of how we ought to live now and best prepare for an eternity with Jesus. Letting things slide that ought to be dealt with may ultimately create a greater challenge than we might think.

Solomon urged.
"The beginning of wisdom is this: GET WISDOM, and whatever you get, GET INSIGHT." ( Proverbs 4:7 ESV)

Solomon urged that whatever else we might get in life we need to make sure we get INSIGHT or UNDERSTANDING. We really can't afford to do otherwise! UNDERSTANDING that is the beginning of wisdom because it urges us on in the pursuit.

Have a great day ENRICHING THE MIND FOR GODLY LIVING!
