Proverbs 21:20
There
is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish
man spendeth it up.
A
wise woman knows how to ration and save.
Those Girls' Scout cookies are not consumed in the first hour they are
purchased. That extra money is not spent
immediately on something that catches her eye.
She knows how to take something she values and rations it out to enjoy it
much longer. The foolish woman is
impulsive and out of control. She
spends and spends and doesn't set that which is of value before the Lord
seeking how He would have it used or rationed.
We should be like the wise virgins the Lord taught us about. He said that their lamps were full and their
wicks were trimmed because they did not know what hour the bridegroom was
coming. Putting money aside for future
car repairs, or saving up for our children’s college education is wise. Let us be those women who have resources set
aside because we know how to wait on the Lord.
