Pls Spend Wisely !!

Luke 15:14 But when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land, and he began to be in want.

For student, it just need to say to the parent: "Can i have $10, 20 or 50.... to spent". As for many of the working saints, many of us have already in mind what to buy before the Pay-Day, and when it comes to the mid or the end of the month : BROKE! and that was my life.
Yesterday, after meeting, i went out my wife (Yes, there is really a need for saints to spend time with their spouse ALONE, to many a times, we put our focus on work, children education, and we forget about our wife, without the foundation with your wife, your family will be shaky) to Singapore Expo for Metro sales.

In the past, Louis Vuiton, Burberry, Aigner etc. are boutique that i used to walk in........... and a wallet that i bought years back that cost me approx. S$150 from Aigner sales was considered very cheap. (i do own a LV clutch bag - never use at all)

Today, i would consider very hard even to buy a belt for $19.90, a shirt that cost $24.00 at Metro sale. Finally I bought 2 shirts that cost lower. Well, i do experience what the prodigal son did, and i do know what our Lord is saying. But we never learn, right? we just spend and spend. Buy now, pay later. Not to worry, my jobs is very secure. True?

In not that i do not have money, Thank HIM for His provision. It just that i have learn to ask HIM in reality. "In want" is not only when you are broke, in economy term, human have unlimited needs. Simply mean, Never Satisfied, eg : i tell myself, after buy it car, house...no more.......:)

May we all learn before the Lord with regard to spending. Spend wisely. U never know when is the famine.
