Life Lived Shrewdly
While stewardship of our finances isn't the only part of stewardship, it is an important part of it. This month, we focus on wise ways to use the resources God has given us for the greatest good.
Today God's Word encourages us to use all of the financial gifts God has given us with an eye on our God-given purpose. What a great reminder as we celebrate Thanksgiving and remember everything that our gracious Savior has done for us! May God grant us grace to use money for what really matters as a thankful response to all he's done for and given to us.
For centuries Israel offered sacrifices to God for sin. Over and over, a substitute shed its blood to earn forgiveness. Then Jesus appeared, the Lamb of God who would take away the sins of the world. He died as the substitute for sinful mankind. Connected to him by faith, you have new perspective and new motivation for living a Christian life.

“Christ” is not the family name of Jesus. It is a title. The Greek word “Christ” and the Hebrew word “Messiah” both mean the same thing: “The Anointed One.” Anointing was the practice of pouring liquid over the head of someone to signify selection for some special task. When the Lord had someone anointed, he also poured his Spirit over them. It was the fulfillment of promises made over centuries.
