Stress-Free Finances: 6 Biblical Principlesনমুনা

Day 1: Trust and Stewardship

Today let's dive into our journey of reducing stress in our financial lives using the Bible as our guide.

The first principle we want to explore is trust.

Jesus reminds us in Matthew 6:25-34 not to worry about our lives, including our finances, as God, our loving Father, cares and provides for us.

So there is an invitation here that we are being given. To let go of the worry and fears and instead, like a child, just trust in His loving care for us.

Proverbs 3:5-6 is a wonderful encouragement for us to place our trust in the Lord.

And remember, when financial challenges come, just as He guided Abraham and Joseph, He will guide us too.

So we can trust Him!! And as we do, the stress melts away.

The second principle, Stewardship, is a key factor in removing financial stresses. Because the truth is, we have been given a responsibility and role in managing our finances that God is not going to do for us!

We have a part to play, and He has a part to play.

And from personal experience, I have found that my greatest financial stresses resulted in me not being as involved as I should have been.

And for all those other instances, when you and I are doing our part, we can simply rest in Him, knowing that He will do what He promised in His word.

So now, reflect on these principles today and identify areas of your financial life where you can practice more trust and better stewardship.

Let’s pray:

Heavenly Father, thank you for always caring for us. I pray that you would guide me and give me wisdom on how to do my part with my finances. And as I do, I pray that you would show up in powerful ways in my financial life!

In Jesus name, Amen.
