“She extends her hand to the poor, yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy… Strength and honor are her clothing; she shall rejoice in time to come.” (Proverbs 31:20, 25, NKJV)

What if God is positioning women to fund the final proclamation of the Gospel? Across America, a quiet revolution is unfolding, not in politics or culture but in stewardship. A profound shift is taking place in the stewardship of wealth in the United States. By 2030, women are expected to oversee nearly two-thirds of private wealth in the U.S. This transition is fueled by longer lifespans and generational inheritance. But this isn’t merely a financial trend; it’s a divine opportunity.

Imagine a widow who inherits her husband’s estate after years of faithful tithing. Instead of fear, she sees opportunity, funding Adventist education, supporting missionaries, and leaving a legacy that outlives her. This is stewardship in action.

Ellen G. White reminds us, “The Lord designs that the means entrusted to us shall be used in building up His kingdom. His goods are entrusted to His stewards that they may be carefully traded upon and bring back a revenue to Him in the saving of souls” (Counsels on Stewardship, p. 35). As women step into greater financial leadership, the question isn’t just how wealth will be managed, but why, and for whose glory?

A Call to Intentional Stewardship

This moment invites deep reflection:

· For women inheriting wealth: How can your resources reflect God’s priorities—faith, family, and faithful giving? “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:21).

· For church leaders: Are we equipping women with biblical wisdom, and not just financial strategies? Faithful stewardship begins with a heart surrendered to God’s mission.

· For all believers: How can we encourage and uplift women as they redefine wealth’s purpose for eternity?

A Legacy of Eternal Impact

This isn’t just about wealth, it’s about worship. It isn’t just for women, it’s for men too, and it isn’t just a trend, it’s a heavenly appointment. Every dollar entrusted to

us is a sacred gift meant to further God’s kingdom. As Peter exhorts, “As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God” (1 Peter 4:10).

Ellen White beautifully captures this calling: “Money has great value because it can do great good. In the hands of God’s children, it is food for the hungry, drink for the thirsty, and clothing for the naked.”(Christ’s Object Lessons, p. 351).

Let us pray for wisdom, courage, and generosity as women—and all believers—step into this sacred trust. The future of stewardship isn’t just female-led; it can be faith-driven, shaping lives for eternity.
