Sometimes the word “stewardship” has a negative connotation, but it shouldn’t because it comes from God and is something God wants to be part of our life.
Christian financial adviser and author Ron Blue defines biblical stewardship as “the use of God-given resources such as time, talent, treasure, truth and relationships for the accomplishment of God-given goals and objectives.”
God-given resources include every gift God gives me. It’s not just about money.
Every minute of your day, every day of the year that you are on earth, every talent, every gift, every piece of knowledge, your relationships, your network, the people you know, the things you know — as a Christian, our goal should be to build a stewardship mindset.
The Bible says I need to grow a stewardship mindset so everything I’m thinking about, everything I do, is centered on what God would have me do. How can I give back in every area of my life and do so with gratitude?
God can use all the gifts He’s given us and multiply them as we give back to Him. What I have may not be enough to do anything. What you have individually may not be enough to do anything. But what if you and I put our time, our money or our resources together? What if others come along and do the same?
God says, listen, let me take all of that to multiply and to do things you cannot even imagine.
We have the privilege of being able to be involved in His kingdom work. How cool is that?
