Do you ever feel like you are wasting time? Money? Energy? Your life?
I’m no accountant, finance expert, investment banker…but financial advisors are good at what they do. For example, if I were to invest some money into stocks, I’d likely invest 100% of it into Gap, Inc. stock. Why? Well, because Gap, Inc. owns Old Navy and I really….really really like Old Navy. I may have an unhealthy obsession with Old Navy…but my point is, who knows if I would reap a profit by investing all of my money into one company simply because I like its clothing. Now, if I had a financial advisor, who is trained in investments and maybe even has a track record for growing client investments, I may find more success in deciding where the money goes.
In the same way that it would be foolish of me to pointlessly invest money based on my limited knowledge about stocks, bonds, and investments, it is foolish of us to think we can properly invest what God has given us – whether that be our energy, our finances or every single day that we are gifted – on our own.
