Everything that we have in this life is because God has given it to us or allowed us to have it. Money, possessions, time, whatever... It is not really ours, its God's. Here's the proof:
"The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein." Psalm 24:1
Now, since God has entrusted us with these possessions, it makes us stewards. We have all heard about being a good steward because its such an important aspect of serving God. The dictionary defines stewardship as, "the conducting, managing, or supervising of something." Good stewardship is our responsibility. God does not force us to be a good steward. We have to choose to be a good steward.
God will bless the good steward. And trust me, God keeps up with our stewardship. Here's the proof on that one (straight from Jesus in a parable):
"give an account of thy stewardship" Luke 16:2
Its never to late to become a good steward. Our stewardship account records from the past may be embarrassing, but God will forgive us and let us start anew! How great is that?!?
