Each of us should use whatever gift we have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.

We are called to live a life of stewardship – a life that reflects the hearts of Jesus. Stewardship is more than just managing our finances; it encompasses every aspect of our existence. It is a beautiful journey of caring for the abundant gifts God has entrusted to us. Stewardship encompasses our time, talents and treasures. In 1 Peter 4:10 we are urged, “Each of us should use whatever gift we have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” Our unique abilities to serve in whether they be in farming, art, music, teaching, or administration, are gifts from God, and He desires for us to use them to bless others and bring glory to His name. We are called to be a faithful steward of these gifts investing them wisely and using them to further His Kingdom.

If we grasp the essence of stewardship, it will transform our perspective on everything we possess. Our possessions are no longer objects of personal ownership but opportunities for kingdom impact. Our financial resources become instruments of generosity and compassion, enabling us to support our home, Church, and missions, meet the needs of the marginalized, and sow seeds of love and kindness.

Stewardship is a heart posture — recognition that we are not an owner, but a manager, of all that God has entrusted to us. It requires intentional living and making decisions with an eternal perspective. As we align our hearts with God’s desires, we find true contentment and freedom in stewarding His blessings.

May our hearts be filled with gratitude as we embark on this journey of stewardship, cherish the privilege of being entrusted with God’s abundant gifts and commit ourselves to faithful living, as we do so, we will experience the joy of partnering with our heavenly Father in His redemptive work knowing that our stewardship is ultimately an act of worship
