Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.Isaiah 41:10 comforting words in troubled times.If the recent turbulence on Wall Street has you dismayed, God’s Word is just what you need to set your heart at ease. Today host Rob West opens the Good Book with Compass Finances God’s Way founder Howard Dayton.

In Matthew 7, Jesus says,Everyone who hears these words of mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against the house; yet it did not fall.Following God’s Word when it comes to money is ALWAYS the wisest thing to do.

We didn’t need much storage space until well into the 20th century with the advent of consumerism.

Proverbs 30:24-25, Proverbs 21:20, and Genesis 41:34 are all great examples in the Bible where God teaches us about the importance of saving.

We first should save for emergencies or unexpected expenses. And we should save to provide for our families because we don’t know what the future will bring.

Proverbs 21:5 and Ecclesiastes 11:2 both offer us some Biblical principles on wie investing.

1 Timothy 6:17 and Hebrews 13:5 both talk about how we should think about our money.

One of the safest things we can do for our spiritual health is to balance our investing with our giving. Luke 12:34 says, Where your treasure is there is your heart also.

In today’s show we also answer your questions:

My wife and I are debt free. Should I be concerned about maintaining a credit score?

My wife and I have 16K in student loan debt. We are looking into buying some land. We have 10K saved up. I’ve read about paying off debt and leaving 1K in savings. Is this wise?

Did you know you’re keeping a day-by-day account of your spiritual condition and faith journey? It shows in precise detail the things you value most in this world. All is revealed in your checking account register. How we handle money is an indicator of our spiritual growth. While that may be unsettling, our finances also provide a roadmap for progress.

Today on MoneyWise, Kingdom Advisors President, Rob West, goes into detail on what the Bible has to say about our hearts following our money. He takes a dive into Matthew chapter 6 and talks about what our money says we value the most and how that should align with our most important values.

In today’s show we also answer your questions:

I have a daughter that is struggling financially because of unexpected medical issues. What is the best way that I can help her?

My husband and I have invested throughout our lives. Knowing that a bear market it potentially coming, would it be prudent to take a portion of money out of the market?

What are your thoughts on Robin Hood investments?

My wife has a 401K with an employer where she no longer works. I’d like to roll this into something different. Advice?

My husband worked for a company and received a notice that he is eligible for 140K at the end of the month. He also has the option of pension payments. What is the best thing to do in our situation?

As a Christian, what motivates you? Is it your faith in God and His promises? Or in your quiet, private moments, is it fearfear of things you can’t control and maybe fear that God won’t live up to His end of the bargain? Well, friend, fear not. It’s OK with God if we discuss these things in front of Him and we do just that today on MoneyWise.

The Bible is clear about the importance of trusting God for everything. Unfortunately, we still insist on taking charge sometimes, especially when fear of the future gets the better of us.

Financial bondage begins when we think and do things that indicate a lack of trust in God. He’s promised to meet not only our needs but also to give us the desires of our hearts.

Bondage caused by fear may result in bad communication and conflicting values between spouses. This will damage a marriage! It may lead to hoarding and a lack of generosity. At the very least, it may cause Christians to unnecessarily scrimp and sacrifice for that elusive day known as retirement.

Faith is the opposite of fear. In Hebrews, faith is described as Things that we hope for and things that we do not presently have. If we didn’t have needs, we wouldn’t need faith. But it’s God’s plan to teach us and strengthen us in faith. So, He allows us to have needs so that we can learn to trust in Him.

Make a conscious decisionto act when God’s will becomes clear. It may mean giving away something you need or making a job change you hadn’t planned on or putting off buying a bigger home.

Develop a long range perspective. God rarely works on the same timetable as we do, so it’s important that we learn what patience iswaiting. Lying in an Egyptian jail Joseph understood God’s long-range plan even though he didn’t understand the timing and circumstances of it all. He had faith. Matthew 6:34 tells us, Do not be anxious for tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself.Each day has enough trouble of its own.

It’s been said that prayer is God’s secret weapon. So exercise this most powerful tool that God’s given us to unlock His blessings and power.

In today’s show we also answer your questions:

How can you help me set financial goals and objectives?

I’m twenty-four and am wanting to buy my first home. Should I take out a conventional loan or an FHA loan? However, I don’t have a great credit score.

What recommendations do you have for safe investments for retirement?

Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal. Jesus’ words in Matthew 6 are a warning about the dangers of materialism. But are we heeding them?It’s a material world, we’ve heard that for decades, but that doesn’t mean you have to be part of it. Up first today financial planner and teacher Rob West with some the warning signs of materialism.

The Biblesays the love of money is the root of all evil. In Matthew 6, Jesus warns that the love of earthly treasures is perilous because it takes our focus off God. We are always in danger of being distracted by material things.

The modern word armoire comes from armarium, from Roman soldiers who first made something resembling a closet.And armoires were in common use all the way up to the 20th century.

Closets remained relatively small up to the 1980s when builders took it a step further. That’s when we begin to see the walk in closet.

We didn’t need much storage space until well into the 20th century with the advent of consumerism.

Everything in the heavens and earth is yours, O Lord, and this is your kingdom. If you acknowledge and truly accept God’s ownership, you’re far less susceptible to materialism.

Some warning signs of materialism: First, you feel you deserve a higher lifestyle, you ignore God’s direction, and you no longer care about the needs of others.

To cure materialism: pray that God would restore a balance in your life, be generous, and give stuff away.

In today’s show we also answer your questions:

I have 100K in a 403B. What is the best way to invest this?

If I buy a car with a rebuilt engine will it affect my insurance?

I am contributing 14% to my 401K with my company. Should I switch to a Roth IRA?

I am 19 years old. What is the best way to start building my credit?

I opened a credit card in 2016. In 2019, there was an increase. How are they authorized to increase it without my approval and will this affect my credit?
