When we hear the word economics, we usually think of inflation, interest rates, jobs, investments, taxes, markets and government policies. Those things are important. They affect our daily lives. They influence the price of food, transportation, tuition, fuel, rent and even the way we plan for the future.

But Scripture gives us a deeper way of looking at economics. Kingdom economics begins with one simple but life-changing truth: God owns everything, and we are stewards of what He entrusts to us.

Psalm 24:1 says, “The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein.” That means my money is not ultimately mine. My income, talents, business, investments, time and opportunities are all entrusted resources. I am not the owner. I am a steward.
