Fit Bit (Financial Fitness)
Recently, I was in Big Sky, Montana. It was truly God’s country. The Mountains were breathtaking and the
people were kind and relaxed. I had an
amazing desire to relocate and be a part of it permanently. One thing I was doing out there was living in
vacation mode. Vacation mode for me is
spending money at a higher rate then I normally do and leaving all my
responsibility behind. Of course I felt
great! The reality is, even if I move to
Big Sky, I will still need to be living in this world.
When living in this world, I need to make a conscious effort
not to be of this world, especially in a place where I am around, ”Big
Money”. When in Big Sky, there was a lot
of wealth and I really did want to be a part of that. I found myself fantasizing about living in
the 5+ Million dollar homes and having the $1500 ski jacket. WOW!
That is so not my reality. But it
was certainly a strong desire of mine while I was there. There is nothing wrong with those things and
how wonderful if one can afford it, but my fire fighter salary will not provide
that. The truth is I do live in
abundance. I think financial fitness
starts with being grateful and generous with what you have. If I live in envy, I am likely to run up my
credit cards and be plagued by debt quickly.
When I over spend I feel strapped and can’t be generous with what I
have.
So today, I will appreciate my financial fitness with
gratitude and generosity.
Proverbs 11:28
“ He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish like a
branch.”
Proverbs 22:7 “The
rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is a servant to the lender.”
“What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit
their soul?”
I hope this Fit Bit helped you today.
Be fit and be blessed,
Kimberly
