Logically as believers we know that God is in control of EVERYTHING. Why is it so hard to reconcile this with money? To seek God’s heart with where we spend our time, energy, AND money should be at the heart of what we do. Yet, as it says there are so many scriptures about money, God knew that this would be a challenge for us.
-
to realize God owns it all!
-
I found it a nice reminder that God is at the center of everything, and when we in our personal lives put and keep him in the Heart of our daily expenditures and decision making, that He will always provide and find ways to transform situations to fit his plans for us.
-
God owns everything. And I own nothing. Zero. He is in control. He has the power. And His ways, thoughts, plans are always different and higher than mine.

It’s challenging to have to let God be in control but also to be responsible for what He gives me to steward! I’d probably be the one who buried the talents out of fear of making a mistake.

Little things: groceries, gardening, cooking, making useful things instead of purchasing them, using my talents to benefit others.
-
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.

I have a lot of stuff and that means a lot of responsibility.
-
Still working on it.
-
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.
