Spiritual Foundations

Here’s a little encouragement for the week ahead:

“And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Philippians [4:19] (NKJV)

So ask yourself. “How rich is God?” Your needs will be supplied according to His riches, not yours. I would rather have His standard of measure…how about you?

Selah.

This week’s tip comes from our good friend Ernie “The Attorney” Svenson…and it may upset some people in the legal community.

If you’re looking for a premium DIY solution for the most common legal situations then you’ll love this app called ShakeLaw.

If you're a freelancer, for example, you can generate agreements straight out of this app. There are a bunch of options included with ShakeLaw and I think it’s worth checking out.
