I’m a Steazer! 1
At the end of my missions trip to Manila last summer, I wrote down one of my prayers and stuck it in my Bible. Here’s a piece of it.
My God, I confess that I turn a blind eye when I buy clothes or food, not thinking about the wages of the people making the clothes in sweatshops. Give me discernment to know where to shop and where to buy things to better support them rather than supporting companies which [do the opposite]…help me to steward my money wisely, give generously, and use it to the support the poor in their situation.
One of the verses that really stuck out to me was James 5:4 – “Look! The wages you failed to pay the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the Lord Almighty”. There were a lot of things that God taught me that summer, but one thing that I really took home was how to better steward my money to further God’s kingdom.
So, how does this have anything to do with being a Steazer? And what is a Steazer anyway?
