Many Christians “commit” to budgeting, saving, or giving, but still hold the reins. Commitment without surrender still places you in control. Stewardship requires submission.
Jesus Is Not Just Savior — He Is Lord:
“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things I say?” (Luke 6:46)
“You are not your own; you were bought with a price.” (1 Corinthians 6:19–20)
We often want Jesus to rescue our finances, but not rule them. Yet He cannot be Lord over just some areas of life. If He’s Lord at all, He’s Lord over your budget, your spending, your debt, your income strategy, and your financial goals.
Ownership Transfer:
Salvation isn’t just an emotional decision; it’s a legal transfer of ownership. Jesus redeemed us—and our resources. Every dollar has a purpose tied to His Kingdom.
Surrender Brings Simplicity:
When you’re surrendered to the Lord, some financial decisions are already made for you:
Tithing isn’t optional—it’s obedience. Greed isn’t tolerated—it’s crucified. Contentment isn’t random—it’s cultivated.
Takeaway for Today:
Financial confusion often stems from spiritual rebellion. Surrender brings alignment—and peace.
Ask Yourself:
Is Jesus Lord over my budget? Do I consult Him before spending, saving, or borrowing?
