Faith vs Prudence

Been thinking a lot these few days. I remembered one of the things that Datuk Edward Ong said that really strucked me. He said when God reveals something, a vision for example, go by faith and put the first step forward and just do it. God will take care of the rest. Accountants aren't like that. Everything has to be prudent. After all, prudence concept is one of the main accounting principles. We shouldn't undertake any projects that is out of the budget. That's what cost accountants are for. BUT, this is what the world and everyone else thinks. Should we think like them? Who is greater? Accountants or GOD? We may plan all we like but we will still not be able to do it if God isn't in the picture. But, of course it isn't easy. A step of faith is taking a step into something unseen. We won't know what will happen. But we got to trust Him.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart
       and lean not on your own understanding
 Proverbs 3:5

So faith vs prudence? Faith, of course. =)
