Take care of what you prayed for
Stewardship Is Spiritual — Managing What You Ask God to Bless “The wise store up choice food and olive oil, but fools gulp theirs down.” Proverbs 21:20 (NIV) Daily Reflection Family… let me say this plainly and powerfully — stewardship is spiritual. It’s not about having it all figured out — it’s about being aligned, intentional, and accountable with what God placed in your hands. It’s about honoring what God placed in your life, managing the blessings you prayed for, and walking in wisdom so your increase has somewhere to land. Because God doesn’t just look at what you ask for — He looks at what you can handle. It’s not about having it all figured out — it’s about being aligned, intentional, and accountable with what God placed in your hands. Because you can’t ask God to bless what you don’t intend to manage. For a lot of us, stewardship used to feel like pressure — budgeting felt restrictive, saying “no” felt like punishment, and planning felt overwhelming. And if we’re honest, many of us didn’t struggle because we lacked income… we struggled because we lacked structure. But here’s the truth many of us had to grow into: Discipline protects blessings. Planning multiplies blessings. Stewardship sustains blessings. And God taught me this the same way He teaches most of us — through real life. Through business. Through seasons of stretching. Through motherhood. Through moments where I had to make wisdom the priority, not impulse. Because emotional spending feels good… until the consequences hit. Impulsive decisions feel freeing… until the pressure shows up. And ignoring the plan feels easier… until the lack becomes louder. But the beautiful thing about God is this: He doesn’t shame us for where we’ve been — He develops us for where we’re going. Stewardship isn’t about perfection. It’s about partnership. It’s you saying, “God, I trust You… and I’m going to do my part.” And hear me clearly: You can pray for overflow… but if you can’t manage the handful, the overflow will drown you.
