One might ask the question, “Does buying insurance show a
lack of faith in God’s ability to provide for you?”
We think not, and here’s why. The wisdom writer in Proverbs 27:12 advised,
“The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and walk
right into trouble.” The Apostle Paul
warned in 1 Timothy 5:8, “If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and
especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than
an unbeliever.”
Filling the gaps with adequate insurance demonstrates the
prudence about which the wisdom writer advised and avoids the condemnation
about which the Apostle Paul warned.
Prayer Focus: Ask the
Lord to grant you prudence in the use of insurance in providing for your
family.
