My Christian friends say God helps them save money, thoughts on this?

[jennifer_bloom]

Like a guy told me he moved into a new place and was worried about debt and the amount in his bank account turned out to be the exact amount in dimes and pennies and dollars, that he needed to cover rent and credit card bills. And today our water boiler for tea broke and I thought I would need around $200 to buy a new one and my mom found one for $43 that she thought looked pretty and told me she wanted me to buy the cheap one because it matched our kitchen colour code so I ended up saving a ton of money on Amazon this month. And my dad wanted me to order restaurant food this month but since we had a gigantic barbecue today and we are all trying to lose weight, he will probably be opposed to restaurant food for at least 2-4 weeks so I saved money on that too.

You can look at it as divinity stepping in to aid you at the time of need, a few years ago I had a flat and needed a new tire was 20 dollars short, on my way to my car I found 20 dollars, I can't explain and don't want to just said thank you, we don't fully understand this world this life like we think we do, people guess, think they k know, based on a dream or some book they read but no on truly knows, you can read the Bible a thousand times and walk away with a thousand different understanding, maybe we are not supposed to understand everything but humble ourselves and enjoy this place that was prepared for us, far as we know this may well be a vacation we are on but our vanity won't allow us to do so in peace what ever the real reason is why we exist here I doubt it's too coexist with all the turmoil we have created for ourselves, and unexpected blessings, don't worry be happy your needs will be taken care of just don't get greedy,

[Pasiton5]

We must best some of the responsibility ourselves can't go running to good for ever little thing we get ourselves into, I say leave the heavy lifting to good and we handle rest not diminishing his role just we can't always call on him cause we're h got stood up for a date

Wisdom comes from God and that aids in finances, God also blesses his servants, and is ultimately our provider.

Following Godly principles is the key to many good results, the efficient handling of money being one of them.

14 “Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them. 15 To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey. 16 The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more. 17 So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more. 18 But the man who had received one bag went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money. 19 “After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them. 20The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more.’ 21 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’ 22 “The man with two bags of gold also came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with two bags of gold; see, I have gained two more.’ 23 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’ 24 “Then the man who had received one bag of gold came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. 25 So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.’ 26 “His master replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? 27 Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest. 28 “ ‘So take the bag of gold from him and give it to the one who has ten bags. 29 For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. 30And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ Matthew, 25: 14-30. "Parable of the Talents"

Seems quite silly to me. So does $200 for a "water boiler". I can't imagine paying that much. I have an automatic drip coffee maker that cost about $50.

Where do you live? I boil water for tea in the microwave. Takes four minutes to boil a half liter (16 oz) of water.

[Marhaban-1]

He may at times. But I believe God gave is a life and earth and left us to get on. He gave us a planet and said (indirectly) you need to look after the planet and you can causes minimal damage to get things you need (food, clothes). But what happened is 1 % of the population have all the wealth. So maybe God is trying to compensate for others evil and corruption by making them save money

God may have helped you save money but god also helped you spend it too.

[Alwayreckles93]

God Lord Jesus Christ is wonderful and amazing. I love The Lord Jesus Christ. If we follow the rulers and we do what God wants us to do we will be blessed.

[TommyMountainFigure]

Devout Christians are against drinking, smoking and taking drugs. That right there will save you a small fortune.

[jshm2]

You've made good choices and chose not to worry about the issues.

God gave you the sense and you used it.

[Redstang88]

“God” has nothing to do with that, that’s just common sense. $200 for a kettle? Pretty sure mine was $20 at Walmart, does what it’s supposed to

[Vikkrram]

Not an Christian but an every Religious person will say the same thing...

[oddwaffle]

Right... didn't know God is in the money saving business.

[Agape93]

They’re full of it. God doesn’t give one fuck about their money.

[sarahlumpkin]

It could mean not wondering where the money went after a weekend of boozing and/or gambling.

[EnglishEuropean]

In order to save money, first you need to have money.

[dileep85]

We should control ourselves in expenses and savings.

[Adam_West]

this is the first time i see the god is a damn bank manager.

[taboomaster]

The Bible talks about money and handling money a lot

[OddBeMe]

Atheists have no tithing. So we’re better at it.

[cloud9vortex1234]

Can't they do it themselves?

[Anonymous]

Hallelujah! Praise The Lord!

[MrJMM]

It’s stupid.
