How A Bible Verse Can Help You Retire Earlier

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

When planning for retirement, most people focus on strategies like saving, investing, and budgeting. 

And while these things are good (and sometimes necessary) they have a flaw.

They are just focused on one’s self.

And they lack generosity.

Take a look at this verse from the BIble:

“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” ( Luke 6:38)

At first glance, this may seem like it’s just about spiritual blessings or rewards.

But in reality, it also contains some important wisdom about building wealth.

Practicing generosity can help you retire earlier in more ways than one:

  1. Giving can increase your earnings.

When you’re generous with your time, talents, and resources, you may build a reputation as a helpful and trustworthy person. 

This can lead to more opportunities, referrals, and connections that can help you advance in your career or business. 

  1. Giving can reduce your expenses.

When you’re generous with others, they may be more likely to reciprocate by being generous with you. 

This can mean that you receive gifts, discounts, or other forms of assistance. 

Practicing generosity can also help you cultivate a sense of contentment and joy.

These are very important motivators that will reduce the temptation to overspend or indulge in material possessions. 

  1. Giving can increase your sense of purpose and fulfillment.

Ultimately, retiring early isn’t just about having a certain amount of wealth. 

It’s also about having a sense of purpose, meaning, and fulfillment.

Giving to others can help you achieve this in several ways.

It can give you a sense of connection and community, as you work together with others to achieve common goals. 

It can also give you a sense of satisfaction and joy, as you see the positive impact that your generosity has on others. 

By cultivating these qualities, you are in much better position to stay grounded and happy in retirement.

Of course, it’s important to note that giving shouldn’t ever be done solely for the purpose of getting something in return. 

True generosity comes from the heart.

And we should be motivated by a desire to help others and make the world a better place. 

However, when you practice generosity with this mindset, you may find that the benefits come back to you in unexpected and meaningful ways.

Because this is how God works.

As it is clear from the Bible, giving gets rewarded in many ways.

And we should not neglect it.

  2. Hi thank you for your blog which is a good read.

    You put a lot of thought, prayer and research into your blogs which I’m sure is a blessing to many as you yourself give out in time and generosity in all you are and do for the Lord.

    I work on the principle of sharing three different types of blogs during each month. exploretoinspire.uk

    One at the start (insight from the bible) another in the middle (a spiritual question and answer) and then one towards the end. (a random blog that circulates to many people worldwide with and without faith through LinkedIn and other platforms)

    Hopefully it keeps the readers interest without overloading them. Over the years I have also found that the pursuit of quality, as best we can, over quantity is a good motivator for me so that I myself do not get or feel overloaded or find I have writers block.

    All the very best . God bless

  3. I amd just going to leave the same comment that you’re beautiful and gorgeous. You can block me if you want. This will just be copy pasted. I skim the stuf lf you write, and except for Jesus being the “son” of God, it’s all the same and in the Quran. Happy Aid Al-Fitr!

    I wish I had a woman like you to marry and have a family with. You would make any man very happy. Except an alcoholic atheist (don’t come to Croatia).

  6. You want to teach? Keep in mind beloved! All those who were not SAVED BECAUSE of false teaching and teachers WILL ASK FROM LORD JESUS at His Second Coming to RENDER HIS JUSTICE UPON THOSE on their behalf for their personal pain deceit and desolation.
