"'Having nothing . . .' Never reserve anything. Pour out the best you have, and always be poor. Never be diplomatic and careful about the treasure God gives. This is poverty triumphant.' (Oswald Chambers)
One thing that God never says is save up your money, put it in safe places, so you will never have to worry about not having enough. Buy a safe and be sure to use a bank that is insured by the FDIC.
The Bible says in rebuff to this 'store up for yourself treasure in heaven where no one can break in and steal it' (my paraphrase).
An old hymn has a line that talks about 'our hoarded resources'.
The world around me says 'put all you have into some form of financial security', when God says be willing to pour everything out for Me.
Am I to be prudent? Probably. Should I have some insurance? Probably. Should I save for the future? Probably.....As God Leads..
Trust in God or the FDIC?"
