Financial Wisdom: Stewarding God's Gifts in the Market

In today's fast-paced financial world, Christians should consider taking the time to be sure their investment activities align with their Christian faith. The screen, showing market fluctuations, reflects our culture's reality. However, the child of God is called to be a faithful steward in all things, even in the midst of uncertain waters.

Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. - 1 Corinthians 4:2

The financial world puts a lot of time and effort into carefully analyzing the movements of the stock market. Likewise, Christians should be compelled to thoughtfully consider how and why we use our finances. Remember, worldly wealth will rise and fall in an instant.

Although God doesn't forbid wealth, He does command us to wisely manage our finances for His glory. When we stop viewing money as our money, and start viewing it as God's money, it will allow us to feel good about investing in building His spiritual Kingdom, rather than building our own kingdom. The more money God blesses us with, the more opportunities we'll have to be faithful stewards for Him.

Consider your own approach to wealth. Are you clinging tightly to worldly possessions and trinkets, or holding them with an open hand? Today, commit to viewing your financial decisions through the lens of eternity.

Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom. Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven. - Proverbs 23:4-5

People can spend their entire life analyzing charts and tracking investments. However, true security doesn't come from fluctuating financial markets. It comes from the unchanging promises of our Lord. May the Lord help us align our financial decisions to reflect His eternal wisdom rather than our temporal gain.
