The Stewardship Of Life

Being a good steward means honouring God in every area of life—our decisions, work, family, and church. Stewardship is more than managing finances; it’s about using our time, talents, and resources wisely, ensuring that what God has entrusted to us is used for His glory. When we make choices with wisdom and integrity, we reflect His heart and purpose.

Colossians 3:23 reminds us, “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men” (ESV). This verse calls us to excellence in all we do, whether in our jobs, caring for our families, or serving in church. A good steward understands that everything belongs to God, and we are simply caretakers of His blessings.

The best advice is - Live intentionally—seek God in your decisions, nurture your relationships, and serve with a willing heart. Stewardship is not a burden but an opportunity to honour Him daily.
