In 1785, Benjamin Franklin wrote an essay entitled “The Way to Wealth or Father Abraham’s Sermon.” It is a collection of phrases of wisdom and advice that are still applicable today. Phrases like:
A word to the wise is enough.
Lost time is never found again.
Drive thy business, let not that drive thee.
Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.
If we are industrious, we will never starve.
Never leave for tomorrow what you can do today.
Since you are not sure of a minute, don’t waste an hour.
A life of leisure and life of laziness are two different things.
There is a lot of biblical truth in these statements as well. Biblical advice on money is always timely.
Whose money is it anyway? How does the way you spend your money reflect what you believe about money?
