Use Resources Wisely
Use Resources Wisely
As stewards, we have a responsibility to use what we have been given wisely. Just like in the parable of the talents, it is up to us how we use what we have been given. We can choose to bury it like the lazy steward or we can make more from what we have been given like the good stewards.
As far as managing our finances goes, there is a tricky balance between not being wasteful (like Jesus talks about in John 6:12) and not living as a miser.
It is easy to fall toward one of the extremes, and it can be challenging to walk in the balance. But that balance is what we should be seeking in the practical areas of being stewards of our finances.
The great thing is that as we prove ourselves faithful in small things we will be given more and bigger things to be stewards over. God will entrust us with even more in order to further His kingdom!
Let us remember Matthew 25:21-22: “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!”
One of the most practical ways to be a good steward is to have a budget. It not only keeps your finances on track, but it also helps reveal if we are actually doing a good job managing what God has entrusted us with.
“When everyone had eaten enough food, Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Do not waste anything. Pick up all the little bits of food that people have not eaten.’”
John 6:12 EASY
“The master said to this servant, “You are a good servant and you have done really well. You were careful with a small amount of money. Now I will give you authority over many more things. I am really happy about this and I want you to be happy with me.” The servant who had received 2,000 gold coins also came to his master. The servant said, “Master, you gave me 2,000 gold coins. Now I have an extra 2,000 gold coins.””
Matthew 25:21-22 EASY
