Self-reliance is more than money. It also includes health, social, emotional, and spiritual wealth. It is not just about accumulation, “For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” (Matthew 16:26) It’s about both giving and receiving. Self-reliant wealth is about maintaining balance – financial-psycho-social-biological-emotional-spiritual balance. Such has been the case since the creation of the earth when God himself rested on the seventh day. The Book of Isaiah contains a promise to those who turn away from finding their own pleasure, doing their own ways on the Sabbath. Specifically, “I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth.” (Isaiah 58:14) The Sabbath helps maintain balance and focus on the things the matter most: things money can’t buy.
