It’s the 4th of July—the day we celebrate our nation’s independence. It’s also a great day to take stock of your financial independence.Are you on the road to financial freedom? Or are you falling under the bondage of money? It’s one or the other. Either you control your money…or your money controls you. The Gift of Financial FreedomIndependence gave our nation freedom, and financial independence provides us with the freedom to make choices. When we control our money, we can decide where and how we live, where we work, and how much we work. However, financial freedom doesn't mean independence from God. Everything we have comes from Him, including our ability to earn money. James 1:17 reminds us, "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change."God's Desire for Our Financial FreedomTo achieve financial freedom, we must remember that God desires it for us so that we can be more generous and serve Him more fully
