16 Decision-Free Zone
I’m Miriam Neff and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan with Wise Women Managing Money.
M Hasty decisions are rarely wise ones. King David’s impulses almost resulted in his killing of Nabal’s household: blood on an anointed king’s hands. Taking Uriah’s wife: another impulsive sinful act.
V Money is an emotion prompter. Extra unexpected funds? Splurge. Great loss? Get depressed and accumulate debt. Scripture is full of wisdom and guidelines on money management as well as care and management of our stuff. With any big change in financial status, declare a decision-free zone. Take time to reflect, seek wise council, learn and pray. That’s God’s way to prevent impulsive decisions.
