Frugal Living

Frugal Living for Christian Homemakers

Many Christian women quietly wrestle with financial strain, wondering if their lack somehow reflects spiritual deficiency. But we are reminded that our identity and blessings in Christ are not measured by earthly wealth—but by the unsearchable riches of grace given to us in the dispensation of grace.


All Spiritual Blessings in Christ

Ephesians 1:3 declares:

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.”

 This verse, written by the Apostle Paul, is foundational to the Mid-Acts understanding of our position in Christ. It affirms that regardless of our financial situation, we are already fully equipped spiritually. We lack nothing in Him. These blessings include:

  • Complete forgiveness (Colossians 2:13)

  • Eternal security (Ephesians 1:13-14)

  • Union with Christ (Galatians 2:20)

  • Access to God through grace (Romans 5:2)

  • A heavenly hope (Philippians 3:20)

These are not conditional on our income, lifestyle, or possessions. They are ours by grace through faith.


Frugal Living as a Stewardship of Grace

Frugality isn’t just about cutting costs—it’s about wise stewardship. As women who understand the mystery revealed to Paul (Ephesians 3:1-9), we know that our lives are not about outward appearances but inward transformation. Living frugally can be a beautiful expression of:

  • Contentment in Christ (1 Timothy 6:6–8)

  • Wisdom in managing resources (Proverbs 31:10–31)

  • Generosity even in scarcity (2 Corinthians 8:1–5)




Frugal living allows us to focus on eternal investments—supporting ministry, helping others, and freeing ourselves from the bondage of consumerism.

🕊️ Encouragement for the Journey

If you’re feeling discouraged by financial limitations, remember:

  • You are complete in Christ (Colossians 2:10).

  • You are seated in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6).

  • You are an ambassador of grace (2 Corinthians 5:20).


Your value is not in your bank account but in your identity as a member of the Body of Christ. You are part of God’s eternal purpose, revealed through Paul for this dispensation.

🌸 Practical Tips for Frugal Living with Grace

Here are a few grace-filled ways to live frugally while keeping your eyes on Christ:

  • Meal plan with purpose: Save money and time while creating space for hospitality.

  • DIY with joy: Use your creativity to make gifts, decor, or clothing that reflect your personality and stewardship.

  • Budget with prayer: Invite God into your financial planning and trust Him with the outcome.

  • Give sacrificially: Even small gifts to ministry or those in need are fragrant offerings to God.

Frugal living isn’t a sign of lack—it’s a testimony of grace. As Mid-Acts believers, we know that our riches are not of this world. We are already blessed with every spiritual blessing in Christ. Let your life—simple, intentional, and grace-filled—be a living epistle of God’s abundant provision.

You are rich beyond measure. Live like it.

    Devotional | The Gift of Mentoring Women on Biblical Womanhood

    Scripture  Titus 2:3-5 KJB  “The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;  That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,  To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed." Mentorship is a powerful way for older Christian women to share their wisdom and experience with the younger generation. It is a beautiful expression of discipleship, fostering growth and godliness in the lives of younger women. Reflection:  Older women have a wealth of knowledge and life experience that can greatly benefit younger women. By mentoring, they can provide guidance, support, and encouragement, helping younger women navigate the challenges of life and faith. This relationship is mutually enriching, as it allows older women to fulfill their God-given role of teachin...

    The Spiritual Source of Smartphone Addiction

    When it comes to understanding the spiritual nature of our smartphone addiction, we need to first of all understand that Satan is the “god of this world” today. He is also known as the “prince of the power of the air” (think not just heavenly places but also airwaves, wifi etc!). Satan is a master deceiver. Though the internet, social media and our smartphones can be used in productive ways to help spread the gospel, it can definitely also be used in unproductive and even harmful ways. “In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” - 2 Cor 4:4 “Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:’ - Eph 2:2 Satan will use several things to try to wreck our spiritual lives including: Constant Distraction At its core, smartphone add...

A Claret colored floral top and a long brown skirt. My planner - time to plan for September! I wanted to share a Picture of a cute doll my husband bought me earlier in the year- he saw it when shopping and said it looked like me! Haha so he bought it. I told him I would wear a similar outfit lol! This little bear came with the doll I recently watched a few films - one was Out of Africa. It's one of my favorites. Starring Meryl Streep and Robert Redford. The cinematography and soundtrack are amazing. It inspired me to wear this outfit ... I was inspired by this outfit below and I realize it's not quite the same lol, but I did my best with what I have.  More outfits from the film.  The real Karen Blixen that ...
