THE BLESSINGS BEGIN WITH A BUDGET!
THE BLESSINGS BEGIN WITH A BUDGET!
We are
all facing the mounting challenge of rising costs but steady or declining
income and resources. In this the YEAR
OF RELEASE I want to make sure at the beginning of this year we all examine
our service beginning with stewardship. I found this interesting article on
BUDGETING which positions us all be more faithful to God in our tithing and
giving.
BUDGETING
For many
people, the thought of setting up a budget is daunting and even slightly scary.
It is an unknown that will take time, energy and might possibly bring bad news.
But not having a budget is potentially deadly to your financial future. You cannot get ahead if you do not know where you are going and setting up a budget is like having a roadmap for your personal finances. Setting up a budget does not have to be difficult or stressful. It does, however, require you to be honest in how you spend your money, be willing to make adjustments if necessary and have the desire to stick with the budget.
Although it is not difficult setting up a budget, the end result must be this - your expenses must be less than your income. Sounds simple, but for many of us, it is quite the opposite.
So, let us get to setting up a budget. First, you must know how much you spend on things. If you have not been writing down how you spend your money, start do to that now. Keep track of every single penny you spend, so that when you set up your final budget you are able to be accurate in setting spending limits for each category.
Once you have a good idea of how much you spend in your various categories (which should happen after a month of recording expenses), begin to think about those categories. You will want budget categories for the obvious items like:
- Tithe
- Car payments and insurance
- Mortgage/rent
- Groceries
- Utilities
- Dining out
- Household maintenance
- Personal care
- Medical care
- Savings (include emergency funds, 401K and other savings categories here)

- Car payments and insurance
- Mortgage/rent
- Groceries
- Utilities
- Dining out
- Household maintenance
- Personal care
- Medical care
- Savings (include emergency funds, 401K and other savings categories here)
But you
might also want to include additional categories as they fit your life. How
many of these budget categories might work for you?
- Hobbies/crafts
- Classes/education
- Books/magazines
- Pet care
- Leisure travel
- Clothing/shoes
- Kids school expenses
- Entertainment (include things like sporting events, movies, etc.)
Once you know what categories you need in your budget, it is time for actually setting up a budget. Think about how much you spend in each category and set a monthly amount for spending in that category. As you set spending limits for each category, be sure to provide an amount that is realistic, but frugal enough for you to reach your budget goals. Do not be so frugal, however, that you immediately blow your budget the first week of the month.
After you set your spending categories, do last month's budget. Go back through your checkbook, your credit card receipts and use your spending log, if you have one. Make sure you account for all your expenses.
Once you have input information for the previous month's expenses, add up the income for last month and put that in your budget. Now add up all your expenses, and subtract that from your income. Do you have a positive number? If the number is negative, you are spending too much each month and now is the time to cut some budgetary fat before you set your real budget for this month.
Where can you trim expenses? How much did you spend on clothing, dining out and entertainment last month? Those areas are usually easiest to trim when setting up a budget. If you are only over by a small amount of money, cutting out one purchased meal each month might put you back in the black. Only you can figure out what adjustments will help you come out ahead each month. For many people, dining out is a non-negotiable item. For others, it is an easy thing to cut. You must figure out what your personal priorities are, but be aware - there is a good chance you will have to cut something, somewhere.
Once you have set your budget, and you know how much you can spend in each category, set up your official budget for next month. You can buy a household record book at the store, or you can just use regular lined paper in a binder. Figure out a system that is going to work for you. Once you begin using your budget, you might find that you become more aware of your spending than before. You might find creative ways to trim your expenses to save even more money. If you find that you are coming in below budget in some categories, take the excess money and transfer that to your savings account. Next month, reduce your budget so you can automatically apply more money to savings and less to the categories in which you naturally spend less. Over time, your savings accounts will grow and your monthly expenditures will decrease.
Many people resist setting up a budget for a variety of reasons. For many, however, the reason is clear: They see it as a budget jail that constricts how, when and where they spend money. It is important to look at a budget for what it is - a roadmap to financial freedom. Once you get that, setting up a budget and maintaining it will seem like second nature and will provide you with the vehicle for attaining your financial goals.

You must figure out what your personal priorities are, but be aware - there is a good chance you will have to cut something, somewhere.
Once you have set your budget, and you know how much you can spend in each category, set up your official budget for next month. You can buy a household record book at the store, or you can just use regular lined paper in a binder. Figure out a system that is going to work for you. Once you begin using your budget, you might find that you become more aware of your spending than before. You might find creative ways to trim your expenses to save even more money. If you find that you are coming in below budget in some categories, take the excess money and transfer that to your savings account. Next month, reduce your budget so you can automatically apply more money to savings and less to the categories in which you naturally spend less. Over time, your savings accounts will grow and your monthly expenditures will decrease.
Many people resist setting up a budget for a variety of reasons. For many, however, the reason is clear: They see it as a budget jail that constricts how, when and where they spend money. It is important to look at a budget for what it is - a roadmap to financial freedom. Once you get that, setting up a budget and maintaining it will seem like second nature and will provide you with the vehicle for attaining your financial goals.

THIS YEAR I'M GOING TO BE THE PRAISE & WORSHIP LEADER
OVERSEERS’ TEACHABLE MOMENT
THIS YEAR I’M GOING TO BE THE PRAISE & WORSHIP
LEADER
This year we are going to
praise God like never before!
PRAISE
Praise means to say good things
about God and to extol, to honor and worship
It is the joyful thanking and
adoring of God and the celebration of His goodness and grace
PRAISE WITH WORDS
Praise him with words (Psalms
92:1-2)
GOD IS WORTHY OF PRAISE
God deserves to be praised and
he is worthy to receive our praise
(Psalms 90:4, Psalms 145:3, 2
Sam 22:4, Rev 4:110
THE GREATNESS OF GOD
By praising God we are reminded
of the greatness of God
(Psalms 135:3)
PRAISE STRENGTHENS FAITH
Praise charges strength to your
faith which causes God to move.
(Psalms 8:2)
TRANSFORMS THE ENVIRONMENT
Praising God transforms the spiritual
the environment.
(2 Chronicles 5:13-14)
GOD INHABITS THE ATMOSPHERE
(Psalms 22:3)
7 WAYS TO PRAISE
Yadah (yaw-daw’)
This means to
show reverence or praise with extended hands. It literally means to extend the
hands, or to shoot and arrow. Psalm 42:5, The Dedication of The Temple in 2
Chronicles 7 uses this expression of praise (visualize Levites blowing the
trumpets and calling everyone to worship and the “praise” that everyone is
expressing is through standing and lifted hands).
Towdah (to-daw’)
This word is
very similar to yadah, but has a slightly different flavor. It means to show
agreement with by extending the right hand. The idea is that it is usually
associated with sacrifice (specifically things given up to show thankfulness to
God). Psalm 50:23 (the thank offering NIV, KJV uses the phrase praiseth)
Barak (baw-rak’)
This flavor of
praise is one that we commonly see around altars. It means to kneel down. It
means to bow low as a sign of adoration and reverence. It carries with it the
idea of humbling yourself to a place that is lower than the recipient of your
worship (God). Psalm 95:6 (expresses this idea literally); Psalm 103 (uses the
phrase “bless the Lord” to convey this expression)
Tehillah (tel-hil-law’)
This type of
praise is singing, but not just any type of singing. It’s the singing that
bubbles up from your heart. It’s a spontaneous type of singing. These songs are
unrehearsed and unprepared. They are straight to God. Psalm 22:3 (these are the
types of “praises” that God enthrones or inhabits, which is interesting because
it’s so specific: God literally lives in the SPONTANEOUS praises of His
people!); Psalm 33:1 (this type of praise is “fitting” for God’s people, or it
literally makes them “look good”); When Isaiah talks about trading garments of
ashes and mourning for garments of joy and praise, the word praise their
literally means SPONTANEOUS praises!)
Zamar (zaw-mar’)
This literally
means to pluck the strings, to celebrate in song and music. Basically it’s
probably the most common form of “praise” we have across the world in our
churches. It’s just singing songs put to music. It is usually translated as
“sing praises.” Psalm 150 (this psalm illustrates a picture of instrumental
worship).
Halal (haw-lal’)
This form of
praise because it requires one to step outside of “dignity” for a moment. It
means to be clamorously foolish. To boast. To shine. This is the kind of praise
that David exhibited when he danced for joy at the return of the Ark of The
Covenant to Israel. It’s also the form of praise that prompted his wife to
ridicule him for his lack of dignity. This is also where we get the word
Halellujah from. It literally means “Praise the Lord” but even more literally
it means to BE CLAMOROUSLY FOOLISH unto the Lord! This includes dancing and
laughing and leaping and twirling before the Lord, but it also (and probably
more accurately) includes the state of the heart before God. A heart that is
turned towards God and not afraid to BOAST in and of God is a “halal” heart.
Halal is not only demonstrative praise, but can also be the force behind any of
these other forms of praise. You can sing or shout or even play an instrument
as a halal. This word appears over 100 times in the Old Testament. 1 Chronicles
16:4 (there were actual appointed musicians to “halal” before the Lord);
Nehemiah 12:24 (an example of call and response halal)
Shabach (Shaw-bakh’)
Are you ready
to get loud? Shabach means to address in a loud tone. It’s typically associated
with freedom or triumph. But it’s more than just a loud shout, it’s the idea of
putting everything you have into it. An attitude of wholehearted praise. Psalm
63:3-4 (We typically look at this psalm as soft cry of thirst in a dry place,
but the words in these verses literally mean to SHOUT praises!).
