Tony Amaradio – Discusses How to Budget
Written budgets are not common anymore, but numerous families are constantly searching for new methods to increase their savings. Tony Amaradio, business analyst, says that a saving plan rooted in faith is necessary to maintain your spiritual values.
The co-author of best-selling book, “Faithful with Much” highlighted many principles provided within the Scripture, including diligence, wisdom and self-restraint, that are pertinent when creating a fiscal plan worthy of God’s blessing.
In the Old Testament’s Proverbs, Solomon warned that assets must be attentively governed, or risk being lost permanently, “Be diligent to know the state of your flocks, and attend to your herds; for riches are not forever, nor does a crown endure to all generations.” The King’s words are still true today for those who don’t plan appropriately and spend without purpose, as is his promise for those who do, “When the hay is removed, and the tender grass shows itself, and the herbs of the mountains are gathered in, the lambs will provide your clothing, and the goats the price of a field; you shall have enough goats’ milk for your food, the food of your household, and the nourishment of your maidservants.” Wise and earnest allocation of funds and resources will assist in the prosperity of family and children for generations to come.
When prioritizing a Christian budget, food, shelter, necessities, and stewardship must take prime importance. In order to help realize that God owns everything, and the immense responsibility of His stewards, Tony Amaradio points to Psalm 24:1, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.” A rewarding spiritual budget should account for generous donations to God and others in need before any excess spending, and if an item is not in the budget, it should not be purchased. As told in Proverbs 22:7, excessive debt leads individuals to serve others than the Lord, “The rich rules over the poor and the borrower is servant to the lender.”
