As entrepreneurs and business owners, we know that not every season is as busy as the next. Proverbs 21:20 tells us, “The wise store up choice food and olive oil, but fools gulp theirs down.” This verse reminds us of the importance of setting aside resources for future needs, just as the wise save for the lean times.
It’s tempting to enjoy all the fruits of our labor during busy seasons, but being smart with your earnings—by saving and planning ahead—ensures you can weather slower months without stress. Building a financial cushion allows you to stay focused on your goals and opportunities, not just on the immediate challenges.
Just as Joseph stored up grain in Egypt for the years of famine (Genesis 41), we too must prepare for times when business may slow down. By saving now, you're protecting your business, your family, and your peace of mind for the future.
Stay diligent, be a good steward of your resources, and trust that your preparation today will provide security for tomorrow!
Keep em Clean!
