One of the ways we can gauge a person is through their handling of their finances. There, we can see if they are responsible, organized, proactive, thrifty, generous, or quite the opposite.

The truth is, God entrusts us with a certain amount of resources and expects us to manage them with seriousness and efficiency.

Jesus said, “Whoever is faithful with very little will also be faithful with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.”

From this, it follows that we are being evaluated by God. We have all received resources, talents, opportunities, and contacts. It is up to us to be faithful with what we have, and to expect that God will place us in new responsibilities to assume.

Thus, our economy is also part of our spiritual life. We’re not just talking about managing money, but also about using our time correctly for productivity.

Jesus affirmed, “So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?”
