“A Little Faith”

Friday, March 06, 2020

     I'm trusting in God to help me out of a difficult financial situation, but since faith without works is dead, how can I materialize my faith?  Thanks.

Sincerely,
Faithful

Dear Faithful,

You need to do your best to be faithful with what you have.  God tells us to be good stewards of whatever we have been given, and this includes our money (Matt 25:21).  Since you are in a difficult financial situation, there is a lot that is out of your control, but what money you do have, show yourself to be faithful with it.  There is a tendency to “go off the deep end” when things begin to unravel financially.  Remember that he who is faithful in little is also faithful in much (Lk 16:10).  God doesn’t care about the dollar amount; He cares about your attitude toward it.  With what you have, be a faithful and good steward.  After that, prayerfully leave the rest in the hands of the Lord.
