Growing Faithfully: Creating a Family Stewardship Garden in Your Backyard Sample

God Owns it All

Not only did God create the world, but He also owns everything in it!

That means whether God has given you a small balcony box to garden or acres of land, He owns all of it. 

God is in Control 

Besides being Creator and Owner, God is ultimately in control of every event. 

You can be at peace knowing that your loving heavenly Father is in control of every situation you will ever face. He will use every one of them for a good purpose.

God is the Provider

God is both predictable and unpredictable. He is totally predictable in His faithfulness to provide for our needs, but what we cannot predict is how He will provide. Regardless of His methods, He is always reliable. God has given us everything we have and promises to supply our needs. 

With Your Children:  

• Go outside and point out 10 things that God created. Write them down or draw them in a picture. Praise God for the blessings he created!  
• Share a time that God specifically met a need in your life.  
• God is in control. When we try to control everything, we are trying to do God’s job, and that is a recipe for disaster! Can you think of something you have been trying to control in your own strength? 

Pray: Lord, thank You for Your amazing creation! Thank You for providing all of our needs. Lord, there are times when I try to be in control. Help me to surrender to You and trust in Your provision.
