Is there a refund for you? Our accountant informed us we’re getting a refund this year. When we originally went for our tax appointment she thought we would end up paying about $6,000, but after she received all the additional paperwork she needed and was able to input all the final numbers into the computer the results changed dramatically.
Funny thing is this. My wife and I set a goal to go to Japan this year on the condition that accomplish making a certain “large” amount of funds in additional to our regular incomes from our jobs by the end of May. Well..our tax returns covered over 90% of that goal. We’ve been praying on it and working on ideas to accomplish this and it seems that it’s working itself out. Now I am not saying that just because we prayed and set our sites on a goal that God dropped this money in our lap. We’ve been working at what we thought could be ways of accomplishing the goal. I truly believe that the combination of faith and action is what makes special “unexpected” blessings appear.
If you are a person who believes in Jesus, here are some things I believe can help you in your financial need.
- Be faithful in your giving (tithing). Nothing shows your belief in God and his power more than tithing your minimum of 10% of your gross income. (The bible says to be a cheerful and faithful giver, and God will bless you)
- Take care of your money. (The bible says if you can take care of little, then you can be trusted to care of much)
- Ask for what you want. Pray on it and look for ways God is trying to show you of opportunities to make more.
- Work hard/take action. Do not expect for the blessings to be dropped in your lap. God wants you to appreciate what he’s blessed you with by making sure you feel you’ve worked to earn it.
Since statistically speaking 80% of the people reading this most likely believe there is a God, then why fear trying these steps? These 4 things are Bible based and have proven to work time and time again. I suggest reading the book of Proverbs, reading and analyzing 1 chapter a day. You’ll get through it in a month and be amazed at the simple wisdom in it for everyday successful living.
