Stewardship

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.  Genesis 1:1

​

Everything and everyone in our world was created by God.  Here’s a humorous story I came across illustrating God’s ownership:

 

Timmy didn’t want to put his money in the offering plate Sunday morning, so his mother decided to use some hurried creative reasoning with him.  “You don’t want that money, honey,” she whispered in his ear.  “Quick!  Drop it in the plate.  It’s tainted!”  Horrified, the little boy obeyed.  After a few seconds he whispered, “But, mommy, why was the money tainted?  Was it dirty?”  “Oh, no dear, she replied.  “It’s not really dirty.  It just ‘taint yours, and it ‘taint mine,” she replied.  “It’s God’s.”

 

All that we have we are given by the grace of God.   God calls on us to be good and faithful stewards of all that we have been given.  A good steward is a diligent and hardworking caretaker of God’s Kingdom.  Prayerfully consider how you can build up and care for all of God's creation.
