THE ART OF OBEDIENCE
Author: Delores McKenzie
The Art of Obedience explores 10 biblical financial principles that will help you harness your faith and the power to live a life of optimum financial health.
In my walk, I have seen many families suffer financially from the pangs of debt, lack of savings, and mostly from lack of knowledge in money management. It is my passion to share information that could break the cycle of poverty for generations to come. Live on less than you make, save and invest the difference, and give to enhance the lives of others.
These are the TEN biblical financial principles to live by:
- God is the source
- Keep out of debt
- Live on the margins of life
- Save and invest
- Giving is essential
- Be content with what you have
- Keep records and have a budget
- Don't co-sign
- Work hard and work smart
- Seek godly counsel.
The truth is, we tend to hold on to what we think is more valuable to us. Unfortunately, because money is a tangible resource, we tend to put more value to it than we really should. As you learn to follow these eternal principles in your personal finances and in other areas of your life, you will know the joy that comes from trusting and obeying God in all areas of your life.
We should remember that God wants us to be good stewards of the resources he gives us. He gives us gifts in order to build us up, to strengthen, help, and encourage others. These gifts are to be used to honor and glorify God while we are here on earth. It is in true obedience to Him that we will be lead to eternal prosperity.

As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.
