stewardship
A
wise man, named Sydney Harris, made this insightful comment about money: “Money,” he
said, “just like fire, is a splendid servant but a ruthless master. If you cannot control it, it can
ruin you.” Knowing how to deal with money obviously does not come with birth. It must be
learned. It takes thoughtfulness. Unfortunately, countless people do not heed the necessary lessons.
There was a man who labored diligently to make a million dollars. When he achieved his goal, his
relatives proudly announced that the man was a certified millionaire. The man threw back his shoul-
ders with pride, almost arrogance. Money was his servant, he believed. But, sad to say, the man did
not invest wisely. A recession diminished his fortune. One of his sons got into trouble, requiring a
large sum in order to be bailed out. The man had retired early and now needed to go to work again.
Money was not a servant. It was a master, demanding his time, energy and worry. It was a demand-
ing, ruthless master.
Many Christians have learned the secret of handling money, by allowing God to direct them in the
matter. Such people have discovered that when God and God’s mission are put before any other, one
is compelled to plan wisely, budget carefully, buy frugally, save regularly and invest only in that which
they pray God would approve.
Those who, with God’s guidance, plan their financial affairs carefully, then carry out that plan, will
find that money becomes their splendid servant and not a ruthless master. They will discover freedom
from financial pressures and joy in being good stewards of the benefits which they, by God’s grace,
often find coming their way.
