Biblical Answer

Understanding the Crisis of the Will

The crisis of the will is not about facing a financial bind or a natural disaster, but about deliberately and recklessly abandoning everything. This can be an external crisis, but it's not the true deep crisis. The true crisis is about the will, about making choices that lead to financial security and freedom. It's about setting aside money for the future, investing in oneself, one's health, and one's family.

Setting Financial Priorities

To save your business and your family without losing everything and losing yourself, it's essential to set financial priorities. This means setting aside a sum of money in keeping with your income, saving it, and investing it wisely. It's not selfish to do so; it's selfish not to do it. Pray for God to show you what steps to take, and then enable you to take them. This is not just about financial security; it's about being free to live a life that reflects Christian values and teachings. It's about being able to give to others as God has instructed in His Word.

Making a Plan for the Future

To make a plan for the future, start by writing a mission statement for your family. Have the whole family read it together daily, and evaluate how you are living up to it or not. Make changes for the better, and use your schedule to protect and enrich your relationships instead of letting the current of culture carry you. Remember, what you leave behind is not your wealth and possessions, but the influence you had on your family and the people around you. Focus on building relationships and living a life that reflects God's plan for you. This is the key to saving your business and your family without losing everything and losing yourself.
