Your #1 Asset

He said, “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I shall return there. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away. Blessed be the name of the LORD.” -Job 1:21

It’s no secret that you enter the world with nothing, and when you leave the world, you can’t take anything with you.

So how is wealth created?

It’s created by your labor… your time… your energy. Basically, it is God who has given you the ability to create wealth (Deut. 8:18).

This is your #1 asset.

And it makes sense to protect it.

Unfortunately, most people disrespect their time and labor — the only assets in your possession that you don’t have to pay for, yet can freely convert to wealth.

In what ways are you squandering your #1 asset? What could you change to respect your #1 asset? How could you stop wasting what you’ve been freely given and create something worthwhile?

Confession: I recently realized that I had once again let technology get between me and my goals. So I had to make some changes. I’ll share those changes with you in the next post.
