How to Be a Good Steward of Your Finances

DAY 2 OF 3

Stewards Can Only Serve One Master

I have found from my own life that my decisions about money reflect who I am serving. At the most stingy and greedy moments of my life it was painfully evident who my master was. I tried to convince myself that I was serving God, but in truth, my decisions were made on their financial impact rather than on my faith in God. It’s one of those areas that I believe we all have room to grow in.

I remember patting myself on the back after an act of generosity that I was proud of, only to be shown, moments later, of two other areas of my life that I was being greedy in. It’s humbling, but it is also encouraging to know that we will never “arrive” and that God doesn’t expect that of us. He knows our weaknesses and our strengths. He knows what we are capable of and while I earnestly want to please Him, I am so thankful for his forgiveness when I mess up.

Let’s choose today to make Jesus our one and only master.
