Multiplying my resources through appropriate use and wise
investments so I have more to give back to God.
1. Frugal; sparing; using economy and good management of
property.
2. More generally, thriving by industry and frugality;
prosperous in the acquisition of worldly goods; increasing in
wealth; as a thrifty farmer or mechanic
"Therefore if you have not
been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your
trust the true riches?"
Luke 16:11
Though parliamentary statutes forbade the
making of woollen goods or hats or steel for export, the
colonists were free to make anything they might need for
use or sale within a single colony or in their own homes;
and the thrifty New England
farmers and villagers made most of their own furniture,
tools, and household utensils, while their women or the
village weavers wove the linen and woollen stuffs of which
their clothes were made. They lived upon their own
resources as no other colonists did. And their
trade kept six hundred vessels busy plying to and fro to
English and foreign ports

I know how to make the most of limited resources
During times of plenty I prepare for known needs.
I know how to live with basic provisions
I take care of what I have to extend its usefulness
I do not permit myself or others spend that which is not
necessary
And we know that all things work together for good to those
who love God, to those who are the called according to His
purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be
conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn
among many brethren. -- Romans 8:28-29
O how love I Thy Law! it is my meditation all the day. Thou
through Thy Commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies. I
have more understanding than all my teachers: for Thy Testimonies
are my meditation. -- Psalm 119:97
This isn't that New Age
"Positive Thinking" stuff, is it??
