God Is the Source of All Things

Remembering that God owns everything prompts a remarkable shift in our view of stewardship. Usually when we think of stewardship, we define it as our giving to God or to the church something that belongs to us. However, stewardship is just the reverse, because it is our freely using, enjoying, and giving what already belongs to God (Psalm 50:9-12). The air we breathe, the water we drink, the land on which we live are all gifts from God. All that we have are gifts we enjoy out of God’s love for us.

Prayer: Lord, you are the owner of the animals in the forest and all the cattle on a thousand hills. Help us to acknowledge you as the owner of all things. We thank you for allowing us to be your stewards and grant us faith to be faithful in our stewardship. In Christ’s name we pray. Amen.

Blessings on your stewardship journey!
