Restoring Godly Stewardship in Government
In today’s world of bloated government and out-of-control spending, it is refreshing to see a movement that champions efficiency, accountability, and respect for taxpayers. The last election saw the American people rise up and declare, “Enough is enough!” And praise God, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, is taking a stand—exposing corruption, cutting unnecessary programs, and ensuring every dollar is spent with wisdom and purpose.
For too long, “the establishment” and the political left have misused taxpayer dollars to fund wasteful, destructive, and immoral programs to expand their control. They have sought unlimited power at the expense of the people. DOGE, however, champions limited government, personal responsibility, and true accountability. These principles are not just good policy; they are biblical! The government is supposed to serve its people, not pick their pockets to enrich itself. By eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse, DOGE aligns with God’s principles of stewardship and righteousness—values that should be at the foundation of any nation that honors Him.
Defending Fiscal Responsibility
One of the most important aspects of DOGE’s mission is restoring fiscal responsibility. Reckless spending has robbed the American people. Millions of taxpayer dollars have been wasted, funding unnecessary initiatives all over the world, many of them ungodly. But praise God, change is coming! DOGE is prioritizing responsible budgeting and eliminating wasteful spending.
Proverbs 16:11 declares, “Honest scales and balances belong to the Lord; all the weights in the bag are of His making.” Fiscal responsibility isn’t just about economics—it’s a moral issue. When government officials squander taxpayer money, they are violating biblical stewardship. DOGE is working to ensure that every dollar is accounted for and that funds are directed toward legitimate purposes instead of special interests and political payoffs.
Restoring Power to the People
Another key principle that DOGE upholds is returning power to the people. For far too long, government overreach has stripped Americans of their God-given ability to make their own decisions. Excessive regulations and mandates have interfered with small businesses, families, and even churches, causing more harm than good. It’s a disgrace!
Proverbs 29:2 tells us, “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people groan.” We have certainly experienced this in our nation. Ungodly leadership has brought higher taxes, burdensome regulations, and policies that attack faith, family, and freedom. But DOGE is working to reverse all of that by making sure the government stays in its rightful place—serving, not ruling over, the people. In this way, DOGE is getting back to the vision of America’s Founding Fathers—a government that protects freedom, not destroys it.
Transparency and Accountability
One of the greatest failures of modern government is its total lack of transparency. Corrupt politicians and unelected bureaucrats hide behind complex legislation and dishonest budgeting tactics to cover up fraud and mismanagement. But the Bible makes it clear that accountability is essential for righteous leadership.
Proverbs 11:1 reminds us, “Dishonest scales are an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is His delight.” Taxpayers deserve to know exactly where their money is going. By pushing for transparency, strong audits, and real accountability, DOGE is closing the loopholes that have allowed rampant corruption to go unnoticed and unchecked. Praise God, the days of wasteful spending and backroom deals are numbered!
Promoting Prosperity Through Limited Government
DOGE also upholds another foundational biblical principle—prosperity through limited government. America’s strength has never come from dependency upon the government. For generations, Americans have valued hard work and have been known for their “can-do” attitude. Sad to say, many government entitlement programs have totally destroyed the American work ethic, and unnecessary regulations have hindered entrepreneurship.
Ecclesiastes 5:19 says, “Moreover, when God gives someone wealth and possessions, and the ability to enjoy them, to accept their lot and be happy in their toil—this is a gift of God.” Government should not be a stumbling block to prosperity, but should foster an environment where people can enjoy the fruit of their labor. That’s what true freedom looks like! The more we work to limit government and encourage people to use their God-given abilities to create wealth, the better off our nation will be.
The Future of Accountable Government
The left will dismiss DOGE as just another policy initiative, but in reality, it represents something much greater—the fight to reclaim government from waste, corruption, and tyranny. It is about restoring biblical values of stewardship, righteousness, and responsibility in leadership.
As believers, we have a duty to support leaders and policies that align with God’s Word. That means advocating for a government that embodies biblical principles—justice, stewardship, and righteousness in governance. While DOGE is not the ultimate answer to our nation’s problems, it is a step in the right direction. As Proverbs 11:10 says, “When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices.”
Indeed, when the government operates with integrity and wisdom, the people rejoice. The work of DOGE is not just about cutting spending or reducing the size of government—it is about creating a government that honors God, respects its people, and upholds justice. And that, my friends, is worth celebrating!
