Alignment- A position of agreement or alliance.

Deuteronomy 14:29 - 29 so that the Levites (who have no allotment or inheritance of their own) and the aliens, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns may come and eat and be satisfied, and so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
Deuteronomy 15:10 - Give generously to him and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to.
Deuteronomy 23:20 - 20 You may charge a foreigner interest, but not a brother Israelite, so that the Lord your God may bless you in everything you put your hand to in the land you are entering to possess.
Deuteronomy 28:8 - 8 The Lord will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The Lord your God will bless you in the land he is giving you.
Deuteronomy 28:12 (NIV84) - 12 The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.

Begin with first things, they always belong to God.

Exodus 13:2, Exodus 13:12–13 (NIV84), Exodus 23:19

Here is the Principle of First Things: The Tithe (first ten percent), firstborn, and first fruits all belong to God. Once they are given over to Him, He blesses the rest.

Romans 11:16 (NKJV), Proverbs 3:9–10 (NKJV) 

Jesus is God’s First Fruits. He was sacrificed to bring us out of sin and darkness.

Romans 5:8 (NIV84), Romans 8:29 (NIV84), Matthew 16:25 (NIV84)- 

Agreement- A negotiated and binding arrangement between parties to an agreed-upon course of action.

Amos 3:3 (NIV84), Matthew 12:25 (NIV84)

Come to terms with your Spouse regarding money:
1.) Do a date night and write one word with a marker on an index card to say what money means to each of you.
2.) Based on each of those words, write your household goals regarding money.
Examples might be: Retire by age 60, Be Debt Free in ten years, Have a regular family vacation, etc.
3.) Establish roles for the processing of money. Who pays the bills, who keeps the files in order, etc.
4.) Establish a regular household finance meeting. Suggestion: Do it whenever you get paid. Determine when and where you want to have the meeting. Share how much you have, what needs to be paid and when, what’s leftover, and any progress you are making on your goals.
5.) Create a spending plan/budget. This step will be talked about in next week’s message.
