![]() If money comes in and goes out of our accounts without us even thinking about it, we’ve missed it. Just like anything else in life, it’s mostly about being intentional. Or maybe it’s spending a little more on chocolate or coffee you always buy to make sure it’s honoring.Īll of these things can be ways we make steps toward good stewardship. Or maybe you decide to dedicate money each month to support a charity doing work you love instead of spending that money on yourself. Maybe that means spending some money to update your home to make it a welcoming environment to honor guests. Maybe that means investing in a vacation to expose your kids to different cultures and types of people or even just making memories together. It’s about using the money you’ve been entrusted with to take care of your loved ones and spread love out into the world. It’s about applying money to things you care about in the world. You see, practicing good stewardship is more than just not spending money frivolously. But what if you found a chocolate that practiced fair-trade and honored the land and work of their laborers? It probably costs a little more money, but if you see that as an honoring way to use your money, that’s being a good steward too. So you decide to go with the cheapest mass produced chocolate out there. Let’s say you also want to be a good steward of money and don’t want to waste money on treating yourself. You indulge every once in awhile, and hey, we’re all fine with that. Suppose you are in the market for chocolate. BUT, could we be an even better steward by choosing one that costs more? We can be good stewards by comparing costs on an item and then choosing the cheaper option. They believe that being especially frugal is how to practice good stewardship.īut is that all there is to it? Just try not to spend money? Buy the cheapest stuff? Is that the key to how God wants us to manage our assets? How do you know when it’s wise to buy something or not? Because of the vagueness, most people who are really committed to being a good steward decide to just spend the least amount possible. ![]() We may know that we are to intentionally supervise and take care of our money, but there’s no real instructions for how to do that. Good stewardship gets fuzzy because it’s so broad. That’s healthy stewardship because it’s intentionally caring about how I use it. How I spend it, save it, grow it, and give it should bring honor to Him first and foremost. So the money I have is just for me to “supervise and take care of” for the Lord. One of my rewards for that hard work is a paycheck that I also try to use to honor Him. I use the talents and abilities that he has given me to work hard and bring honor to Him. But it means there’s an intention and a carefulness to how we use it.Īs a Christian, I see my assets not as my own, but as they belong to God and I get to steward what He’s given me. That doesn’t necessarily mean not to spend it. If we are to be good stewards of our money, we take good care of it. Webster’s Dictionary defines the word stewardship as “the job of supervising or taking care of something, such as an organization or property.” I love the “taking care of something” part. They say things like, “We want to be good stewards of our money” or “practice good stewardship.” To me, it’s always sounded like good stewardship means don’t spend too much and save save save! But am I misinterpreting? What does the concept of good stewardship actually look like? ![]() You hear it often in churches as church leaders tend to use it when talking about money. If you’re part of a church, you’ve probably heard the word stewardship a few times. ![]() ![]() ![]() ShareX is more than just a screenshot tool.

However, in 10 to 15 percent of patients, hypothyroidism persists, requiring long-term levothyroxine therapy. Patients usually return to euthyroidism within six to 12 months. A triphasic sequence commonly is observed, in which patients have an initial phase of hyperthyroidism accompanied by elevated free T 4 and suppressed thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels, followed by a phase of hypothyroidism with low free T 4 and high TSH levels, which may last weeks or up to six months. This process usually is transient, lasting three to six weeks and ceasing when the thyroid stores are exhausted.
