This food should be held in reserve for the country, to be used during the seven years of famine that will come upon Egypt, so that the country may not be ruined by the famine.
This verse reminded me of the importance of saving for the future and/or catastrophe. I am a Dave Ramsey listener and my husband and I are working the baby steps. Here is a quote from Dave about saving:
If you have savings and then experience a car wreck, a busted heater or A/C unit, or a job layoff, money works for all three. It causes you to relax because you have cash saved up for Murphy visits. It's like being in a fender bender and having your seat belt on—you don't get hurt because you had something in place to protect you.
Lord, thank you for giving us jobs so that we can earn the funds we need to live, give and save. Please help us to have the wisdom to do all three. Amen.
