Managing finances can be a source of anxiety, but as Christians, we are called to trust God with every aspect of our lives—including our money. This post will explore how you can trust God with your finances, practice faithful stewardship, and use the Living in Light planner to track your giving, savings, and financial goals.
Understanding God's Role in Your Finances
Everything we have comes from God, and financial stewardship means managing those resources in a way that honors Him. The Bible teaches us that "every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights" (James 1:17). This means that our money, possessions, and financial abilities are all entrusted to us by God. As stewards, we are responsible for using them wisely and in alignment with His will.
"Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops." – Proverbs 3:9
Setting Faith-Based Financial Goals
Use the financial sections in the Living in Light planner to set goals that align with your faith. Whether it's saving for a specific purpose, giving more generously, or paying off debt, tracking these goals helps you stay faithful in your finances. By prayerfully considering how God wants you to manage your resources, you can make decisions that glorify Him and support His kingdom work.
Trusting God to Provide in Times of Uncertainty
When finances feel tight, it can be easy to worry, but trusting God's provision is key. The Bible reminds us that "my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:19). Even when circumstances seem uncertain, we can have faith that God will take care of us and provide for our needs.
