Prudence

Prudence: 1. Cautious; the ability to govern and discipline yourself. 2. shrewdness in the management of affairs. 3. skill and good judgment in the use of resources.

There’s a theological necessity for prudence. Prudence opposes the disorder that sin has brought. Through prudence, God gives us the strength to walk in order rather than chaos.

Two areas to apply prudence: our money and our time.

The goal of prudence is to please God in all that we do.

So we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. For we walk by faith, not by sight. In fact, we are confident, and we would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. Therefore, whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to be pleasing to him. (2 Corinthians 5:6–9)
