Writing Your 2023 Emotional and Spiritual Budget
If you liked what you heard you can listen HERE.
Time, like our finances, can only be spent in ONE of two ways…as an investment, or as a waste - we can either invest our time or waste our time…
Today I wanted to look at how we can invest of our time into our EMOTIONAL and SPIRITUAL lives for 2023.
START WITH VISION
Where is God leading you in 2023?
Financial and time budgets should be written to strategically pursue vision…But to plan and schedule the pursuit of the ‘God vision’ for your life for 2023, you have to know what that is…
BUILD A TIME BUDGET WITH EMOTIONAL HEALTH AT THE CENTRE
Proverbs 4:23 Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.
Schedule The Rhythm
Daily Devotion
Weekly Sabbath
Annual Leave
Select The People
Date nights
Family dinners
Mentoring/Supervision
Maintain friendships
Monitor your spending (some people are emotionally EXPENSIVE)
Set The Scene - WHERE…fills your emotional tank?
Go to places that fill your soul - explore, travel, and say yes to adventure!
BUILD A TIME BUDGET WITH SPIRITUAL EMPOWERMENT AS AN IMPERATIVE
Acts 4:13-15 The council members were astonished as they witnessed the bold courage of Peter and John, especially when they discovered that they were just ordinary men who had never had religious training. Then they began to understand the effect Jesus had on them simply by spending time with him. Standing there with them was the healed man, and there was nothing further they could say.
2023 can be a year where you can see astonishing, supernatural activity, outworked through your life…You have no reason to discredit yourself from this as this verse demonstrates, you do not need a degree in theology for the Holy Spirit to work through you…BUT!
We MUST spend time with .. HIM! I can’t stress enough how this is different to simply, keeping your emotional health strong, this is not just reading a daily devotional…This is about leaning into the supernatural…and you can budget for it:
Budget to be in atmospheres of faith
Church services / conferences / prayer meetings / missions trips
Budget your time to be with people of faith
Life Group/church teams / spiritual mentors
Spend time practising your gifts of the Spirit
(encouragement, healing, hospitality, generosity, administration, words of knowledge, prophecy etc…)
Leave margin in your schedule, so you can respond to Holy Spirit promptings AND be flexible enough to change your schedule to answer the call of the Spirit.
