What the Bible Says About Stewardship
Discover what the Bible really says about money, stewardship, and faith. Learn how to handle your finances God's way in this fun, insightful read!
Money & Faith: Why They’re Not Enemies
Let’s be real—money is a big deal. From buying lunch to paying rent, we deal with it every day. But what does the Bible really say about money? Is it bad to be rich? Should Christians avoid talking about wealth?
Spoiler alert: Money isn’t the problem—how we manage it is.
Jesus talked more about money than He did about heaven and hell combined. Why? Because He knew money has the power to either master us—or serve God.
Stewardship 101: God Owns It All
Here’s a truth bomb: Everything you have belongs to God.
"The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it." – Psalm 24:1
Whether it’s your smartphone, your time, or your bank account, God is the true owner—we’re just stewards (AKA managers).
So, what does a good steward look like?
-
Faithful in little things (Luke 16:10)
-
Generous with what they have (2 Corinthians 9:7)
-
Wise with spending and saving (Proverbs 21:20)
Tithes, Offerings & Kingdom Investments
Tithing isn't a tax—it’s an act of trust and worship. When we give the first 10% back to God, we’re saying, “Lord, I trust You more than my salary.”
"Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops." – Proverbs 3:9
Beyond tithing, God calls us to live generously—helping the poor, supporting missions, and giving cheerfully.
Faith Over Fear in Finances
Let’s face it—money can stress us out. Bills pile up, emergencies happen, and the future feels uncertain.
But God’s Word reminds us:
"And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus." – Philippians 4:19
When we put faith before fear, trust God's provision, and follow biblical principles, we walk in peace—not pressure.
Quick Tips for Faithful Financial Living:
-
Budget like a boss – Know where your money goes.
-
Give joyfully – It’s more blessed to give than receive.
-
Save wisely – Even ants do it (Proverbs 6:6-8)!
-
Avoid debt traps – The borrower is slave to the lender (Proverbs 22:7).
-
Pray over your finances – Invite God into your money decisions.
Final Thought: Your Wallet is a Worship Tool
How you handle money is spiritual. Stewardship isn’t about being rich or poor—it’s about being faithful. Whether you have little or much, managing your money God’s way leads to freedom, joy, and purpose.
So next time you swipe, spend, or save—remember: you’re not just managing money—you’re stewarding God’s blessings.
If this encouraged you, share it with someone learning to trust God with their finances!
