During my morning reading, I found the phrase, “You keep going backward” in Jeremiah 15:6.
Of course, this is commentary on spiritual matters, but it has application to other areas of life as well.
I found it interesting that God’s Word identifies not only motion but direction.
There are numerous verses where words like these are used:
- “backward”,
- “forward”,
- “stand firm”, and
- “rise up”.
There are different times and seasons when certain actions are required.
Professional truck drivers who are looking to save money need to determine
- exactly where they stand and
- what direction they would like to go.
Ask and Answer Questions
Questions that would be good to answer are:
- Do I have a budget?
- How am I spending my money and do I need a spending diary?
- How much debt do I have?
- Am I working to become debt-free?
- What goals can I set to help me get where I would like to be?
It’s a good idea from time to time to ask if you’re going backward or going forward in reaching your goals.
