When God blesses us, He blesses us for a purpose. And when it comes to our finances, He wishes to teach us responsibility. And although it is essential to understand that money should not be our only motivation, it certainly impacts our lives significantly.
Too often, the desire for wealth can lead to reckless and ill-considered financial decisions. God’s will is to lavish us with everything we need for a comfortable life, but He also calls us to become the managers of our blessings – including our finances. For this reason, the Word of God offers a wonderful piece of advice! In 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐬 𝟐𝟏:𝟓, it is thus written: “𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐲.” In other words, budgeting, savings, and thoughtful planning are not only practical skills, but they also demonstrate our faithfulness in taking care of what has been given to us! Just as Joseph’s foresight ensured the survival of an entire nation during famine, our wise stewardship can provide stability and improve our lives! Truly, life does not just happen to us. It is all about the choices and how we respond to every situation.
Notably, to respond to every situation, our choices must be aligned with God’s Word, so that we are able to draw wisdom. Our Heavenly Father will always want to help us face hardship, but we must also use what we have with prudence. Therefore, as Christians, let us seek more of His guidance because through responsible financial management, we not only honour God, but we can additionally uplift others by becoming a shining example!
🙏 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫: “Father God, I thank You for blessing me generously and for the opportunity to honour You with my resources. Grant me the discipline to manage my finances with discernment. Teach me Your ways so I can plan for my future, and guide me towards the right choices, in Jesus’ name, amen!”
