Does Jesus have anything to say about our money management? YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!
Today I'm reading a helpful article from Crossway.
Link to the article: Learning Money Management from Jesus
Reflective questions mentioned in the article:
- Is my heart and mind set on God or on money, on how to serve him or on how to save and spend what I think I possess?
- Am I committed to daily reflection on planning my life and the way I use my money to live for eternity, or to ensuring that I (and my family) will be comfortable and financially secure in this life? What proportion of each day is spent on these two different goals?
- Do I truly recognize that all I have is God's and not my own, that I am his steward, or manager, and do I acknowledge that this is why he will call me to give an account of how I have managed his property?
- Am I using what I have to bless others in need, whether I have little worldly wealth or whether I am relatively prosperous?
- Do I truly realize that possessions are far less important than relationships, and that my attitude to my possessions is a kind of proving ground to prepare me for more significant responsibilities in serving others?
- What do I have that I can truly call my own? Who are the people who are becoming my spiritual siblings, parents, children, friends—people whom I have given myself to in service and love, in kindness and mercy, and in self-sacrifice?
