I learned that God owns everything and we tend to put money first instead of God. That we can’t serve two masters , we must love one and despise the other. Money is the root of evil but God is the true root wealth. We must seek first the kingdom and all righteousness will be added upon us.
-
Now I know God owns everything and I own nothing.
Now I know I’m spending God’s money, and that I don’t spend my own money, that God owns all my money.
God has wisdom in how he wants me to spend His money. I never was good in my money and I’m living in poverty currently. I believe once I correct my attitude towards spending God’s money, God will pull me out of my poverty.
-
I didn’t realize the size of the universe, until given the breakdown provided in the notes! This lesson is about way more than finances; it is truly changing my perspective of how mighty God is. He created and owns literally everything yet still specifically knows me and loves me.
-
I found it intriguing that there are over 2,000 verses or mentions about money in the Bible! That shows just how important this topic is.
-
It means everything we have is a gift. Only the owner of something can gift it to someone else.

No matter how much money I have I should be a good steward of it.
-
That I need to be intentional about everything and to value everything2 regardless of the size. Little matters.
-
we could have lots of money and being rich but in theory it doesn’t matter how much you have/ or I have, its all in the lords hands, he will provide for those that love him and care for him.

At this stage of my life being faithful to the little things means being a good steward over the few things God has provided me with to sustain my life. God realizes that if He can trust me with the small things, He can trust me with more. He can trust me to help others as He commanded.
-
It means I need to carefully consider every purchase. I need to manage what I do have and not overspend. It means giving to God and recognizing it is all a gift.
-
Being faithful means managing my finances wisely, like budgeting, saving, and avoiding debt. It also involves giving generously, maintaining what I already have, and being trustworthy in all responsibilities, no matter how small. It’s about showing integrity and care in everyday decisions that may seem minor but matter greatly to God.

That I truly do not own anything and I am only giving back to God what He has given me.
Whether it is my finances, my children, my physical possessions, and even my life.
-
I realized that faithfulness is about following God’s principles, not worldly success. Handling finances shapes my character and reflects my priorities. Small acts of diligence, like avoiding waste or managing resources responsibly, can lead to blessings like financial stability, a closer relationship with God, and opportunities for greater stewardship.
-
Everything on the Deed will be spent, break down, or stop working, but God is unbreakable and eternal.
-
Realizing that this doesn’t just mean materialistic things, but things I hold even more dearly-my family, medical situations, etc.
