“Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, I will testify against you.

The Personal Financial Statement

We now have a pretty good idea of what God owns - everything! So let's take stock and see what God owns as it relates to your situation. To do this, we'll be completing the Personal Financial Statement. This exercise is helpful for several reasons:

1. It gives a picture of your financial health.

2. It allows you to see areas to celebrate and areas where improvements can be made.

3. It shows what you could sell if you need cash.

    As you complete this exercise, keep in mind that it's not necessary to be absolutely precise; rather, estimate the value of each asset and the amount of each debt.

    You will not be asked to show the statement to anyone.

    Download the Personal Financial Statement by clicking on the download icon above.

    Make sure you save the downloaded application worksheet to your computer or device before entering any data!

    Compass Commentary- Day Two

    View answer

    God created us, the world and everything in it, and by His grace, He allows us to use all of these things for our benefit while we’re here on earth and asks only one thing in return. God wants our hearts more than He wants our sacrifices. When we die, all of life’s stuff stays behind. It’s not ours to keep, and it was never intended that way.
