Financial Freedom
Scripture – Proverbs 11:24-25: 24One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. 25A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.
Reflection: One of the crazy things about God’s economic plan is no matter how much we give away, we will always have all we need. Especially in this day, when we’re facing such an economic upheaval in our country, this is an important truth to lift up.
God entrusts money to us. It’s His money. He simply trusts us to handle it and manage it and use it on His behalf. In that process, His promise is I will always have what I need.
If, indeed, as we affirm, the wisdom of Proverbs reflects God’s guidelines for daily, faithful living, then we can rest easy in these economic times. We will not be drained by generosity. We will be refreshed by it.
Pay attention this week. When will you be tempted to tighten your grip on money? In those moments, look for ways to loosen your grip and experience the freedom of letting it go. Try it and see what happens.
