In Today’s Worship: One of the purposes God has planned for your life is that you manage His property for Him. Managers, or “stewards,” must be worthy of the trust the owner places in them, and must earn that trust through diligent and honest actions. In your life, you must acknowledge that you own nothing. God is the owner, and you manage what God has entrusted to you. In Psalm 24:1 God reminds us, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.”
Through our giving, we reflect God’s generous nature. Our giving also expresses our gratitude for who God is and what He has done for us, and shows our love to Him. Someone once correctly said that the mind grows by what it takes in; but the heart grows by what it gives out.
