Managing Family Finances Wisely


Listen Later

Money is one of the most practical ways we live out wisdom in family life. Proverbs 21:20 paints a clear picture: wise families think ahead, plan, and steward their resources with intention, while foolish choices lead to waste, stress, and unnecessary hardship. A powerful example of wise stewardship is seen in the story of Joseph in Egypt (Genesis 41). God gave him insight not only to interpret Pharaoh’s dream but also to manage the nation’s resources wisely. Joseph stored grain during years of abundance, so when the famine came, Egypt—and surrounding nations—had enough. His wisdom saved families, preserved nations, and fulfilled God’s purpose. Like Joseph, we are called to manage our households with foresight. Wisdom isn’t only about how much money we have—it’s about how faithfully and prayerfully we manage what God places in our hands. Financial stewardship is spiritual stewardship. It affects peace, unity, and the legacy we leave for the next generation.
