Saving for a rainy day, is supported by the word of God.
Just look at the example of the young man who got his inheritance and wasted it on partying. Luke 15:11-13. Had he not done so, money would have been left for him to live on. Luke 15:14-17. The Bible teaches wise men will have money in their accounts, while foolish blow it. Pro 21:20, Eph 4:28, teaches men to work and have surplus funds to help those in need. In Matt 25:27, the lazy servant could have put his Master money in the bank, so it could gain interest. But he didn’t. Jesus taught that we should “count the cost” before doing anything, and that certainly can be applied to the use of money. Money isn’t something that we should be in love with. It can’t be taken with us at death. Matt 6:19-21. 1 Tim 6:7-10. Job 1:21. Psa 49:15-20. But that doesn’t mean we waste our money and not be able to pay rent. Eccl 11:1-2.
