GOD'S PEACE IN FINANCIAL STABILITY
DAY : 1
🌟 Give Your Burdens to Jesus
✝️ Jesus hears your groans and exasperations. He listens to every whisper of frustration and ache of despair in the face of rent or medical costs. He knows of every moment caught in workaholism and the urge to fund an expensive lifestyle.
🙏 If your finances burden you and make you weary, drag your heavy-laden heart to Jesus.
📖 He gives rest to “all who labor and are heavy laden.” (Matthew 11:28). “Labor” is often translated as “weary.” Jesus’ audience likely thought of the restrictive legalism of the Pharisees and Scribes, but his words remain significant for us.
💡 When ambition begins to choke us out of spiritual or family life, when the next check is uncertain, the bills threaten to overwhelm us, and when major purchases or life’s messiness interfere with our plans, Jesus promises that we will find rest for our souls.
❤️ At the outset, let that wonderful truth sink in and salve your heart: Jesus promises to give you rest.
🛡 A yoke is a wooden harness that pulls a plow behind two oxen or donkeys. The easiness of the yoke refers to it fitting well. Jesus’ yoke is intentional and personal, fitted to each one of us because he knows us.
🔄 Your desires and the world may have made a heavy, chafing, and ill-fitted yoke for you. Trade it for Jesus’ burden and open your heart to learn from him. He knows you and will shepherd you gently.
⚖️ Under Jesus’ load, you have nothing to lose. He will reward you for faithfulness and forgive you when it’s squandered. His compassion overwhelms sin, and his power protects you.
🤲 His intentions for us are good and caring. Instead of trusting in yourself, turn to trust in him.
📝 And we can learn from our savior, “gentle and lowly of heart,” by listening to what he teaches about money.
🌅 Tomorrow, we will look at Jesus’ teaching of stewardship.
💖 Jesus’ burden is not a legalistic one where we fear our master’s punishment; it is one of joy in return for faithfulness with what we’re given. That means no matter how much, or how little money you have, no matter how much debt, every one of us has a path of trust that leads to joy.
💭 What expectations in finances are placed on you?
➡️ Number them.
💭 What burdens are most heavy right now?
➡️ Consider them.
🛐 Take all of these in prayer and talk about them with Jesus.
✨ Take your anxieties and cast them on Jesus in prayer, committing to trust in him no matter your load.

DAY 2
📖 Christian Stewardship
✨ Jesus radically turns our earthly, common notions about money upside down.
🔑 The Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25):
“Talent” in the parable refers to a vast sum of money (not just natural gifts).
God’s gifts are expansive and generous—He entrusts each of us with precisely the right responsibility.
Everything belongs to God: Skills, wealth, testimony—even the finances of billionaires and the homeless are His.
⚠️ Warning Against Fear & Entitlement:
The unfaithful servant buried his talent due to fear of a “hard” master and resentment.
Fear, laziness, or resentment blind us to God’s call for faithfulness in our circumstances.
🌟 God Rewards Faithfulness, Not Outcomes:
The first two servants (given 2 and 5 talents) received the same reward: their master’s joy.
Stewardship is about trust, not results: “God deals with the outcome—we focus on faithfulness.”
💸 The Widow’s Offering (Mark 12:41–44):
Jesus praised the poor widow’s two small coins over the wealthy’s large donations.
Stewardship is measured by sacrifice, not amount.
🤔 Reflection Questions:
1️⃣ Do you prioritize faithfulness over monetary results?
“If not, why not?”
2️⃣ Is your giving defined by church donations or heart posture?
3️⃣ Is your bank balance or 401(k) your obsession?
“Wealth sprouts wings and flies away” (Proverbs 23:5).
🙌 Call to Action:
Take stock of your finances.
Pray with open hands—physically—to remind yourself: “All I have belongs to God.”
Ask God to align your heart with Jesus’ countercultural stewardship: “He owns everything—not us.”

Matthew 25
14 “Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them.15To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey.16The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more.17So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more.18But the man who had received one bag went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.
19 “After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them.20The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more.’
21 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’
22 “The man with two bags of gold also came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with two bags of gold; see, I have gained two more.’
23 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’
24 “Then the man who had received one bag of gold came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed.25So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.’
26 “His master replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed?27Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest.
28 “ ‘So take the bag of gold from him and give it to the one who has ten bags.29For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.30And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

Mark 12
41. Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts.
42.But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents.
43.Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others.
44.They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.”

19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.20But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.21For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light.23But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

Do Not Worry
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?27Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?31So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Sometimes it’s hard to praise God. Sometimes God feels distant. Sometimes we don't feel God's goodness at all. Yet when we take a moment to truly pause and dwell in His presence, we realize that He is always worthy of praise, always present, and always good.

Your problem is never that you are too weak. As a matter of fact, what God does in our lives, from the moment we are born again and until we die, is He is constantly working to create weakness in us. The problem is not that you are weak; the problem is that we don't know how weak we are; because that weakness would drive us to prayer. Just as being truly incarnate drove our Savior to prayer. - Paul Washer

📖 1 John 2:15-17 📖
15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. 16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. 17 The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.
