Save what is needed!

This is a clear teaching from God!



Proverbs 21:20



20 The wise store up choice food and olive oil,

but fools gulp theirs down.



God's Word is clear that we are suppose to store up what we need for hard times. This verse is clear about that. The verse says the wise store up food and olive oil. Of course we know why we would store up food....for hard times! But what about olive oil. This oil was used in certain offerings and for medicinal purposes. So one needed to keep a supply on hand. As far as food there is a line that has to be drawn somewhere between need and hoarding. Because God's Word also makes it clear we are to share with others in need. I am a believer this is also true with our money. For me to place a number of where that is would be wrong that is something we all must allow God to tell us! This verse goes on to tell us what we are when we don't store some for the future....a fool! That is to the point isn't it!



So save what you need but don't get greedy!
