Biblical Principles for Financial Stewardship: A 5-Day Family DevotionalSample

The Foundation - Stewardship and God’s Provision

Everything we have comes from God and belongs to Him. The concept of stewardship teaches us that our role is to manage these resources wisely, recognizing that they are gifts from God. By understanding this, we can approach our possessions and responsibilities with gratitude and a desire to honor Him.

Key Points:

• What is Stewardship? Stewardship means taking care of the things God has given us, from our money to our time and talents.
• God is the Ultimate Provider: Remembering that everything we have comes from Him helps us trust Him more fully.
• Gratitude and Contentment: Being thankful for what we have keeps our hearts aligned with God and helps us to focus on what truly matters.

Practical Activity:
Encourage families to create a “Gratitude Jar”. Each day, write down one thing you are grateful for and add it to the jar. At the end of the week, gather as a family and read through the notes, thanking God for each blessing.

Prayer Focus:
Pray together, thanking God for His provision in your life. Ask Him for the wisdom to manage what He has entrusted to you and to have a heart that is always grateful.
