7/28/07 Life Journal - The Good Steward

Why do you spend money for what is not bread? And your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to me and eat what is good and delight in abundance.
Isaiah 55:2

As good stewards, we must be careful to spend our earnings, given to us by God, only on things (bread) that glorify His name. If we don't go after earthly treasure that will only rust we will share with Him in the abundant buffet in Heaven. Also, blowing our wages on materialistic things that do not satisfy leaves us without the means to give to those in need and those spreading his Gospel, in turn taking away from His glory and stealing from the hand that blessed us. Pray for self control and wisdom in your finances.
