The Power of Saving (2 of 4)
Series: Margin
Scott Maze
Genesis 41


I want to talk about creating margin in our life this morning. Margin is when we have a little extra space that allows you to breath. It's when I have a few extra minutes to enjoy life. Or when I have a few extra dollars beyond just paying the bills to devote to things that matter. Whether we have little of it or a lot, money has a powerful impact on our lives. And few areas of our lives can cause the stress that financial problems cause.

This morning I want to speak to you about the power of savings.

Many of us spend $1.10 for every $1 we make. The result is something breaks in our house or in our life and we are incredibly stressed out. If stress were measured like rpms of a car's dashboard, then we would be running in the red. Now, we have all done stupid things with our money. So we need to create margin so that we have room to breathe and grow.

Later this year, our campus will encourage everyone of us to go through something called Financial Peace University. We need margin in our life to truly connect with the people we care about the most. And margin in my finances to enjoy what the Lord has given me. And adding margin will allow you to be generous with those in need. Most importantly, margin in your life allows you to truly worship the Lord. One of the most powerful tools the Lord has given us to reduce stress and anxiety in our lives is the ability to save for a rainy day. The number one complaint Americans have about our money is that we are not saving enough. In a survey completed just over the holidays, nearly one in four of us say our biggest blunder is we aren't saving like we should be.

Find Genesis 41 and place a bookmark at Proverbs 6 also if you would with me.
