Biblical stewardship can be defined as using and managing all resources God provides for us for His glory and the betterment of His creation. We know that God is the provider and creator of all things. God expects us to look after the things He has freely given us and leave them better off than when we received them. It may seem like a heavy responsibility, but God has given us access to all the wisdom we need to be faithful stewards.
Stewardship, when done properly results in two things: glory given to God and people's lives being made better off. Jesus shows us the perfect example of godly stewardship. He came to a broken world that was full of sin, and throughout his life stewarded His gifts to the betterment of everyone that came around Him. He also gave a timeless sacrifice through the shedding of His blood and left us with the Holy Spirit to transform lives. In the same way, we need to have a heart of stewardship wherever we find ourselves.We have to understand that the true owner of everything we have is God and one day, He will ask for an account.
He is the real owner of our lives, finances, children and whilst we enjoy them, we will also stand before our Maker to give an account of how we managed these aspects of our life.
Stewardship is active and intentional. It's not passive and apathetic. In the parable of the talents, God commended the people who took a proactive attitude to managing what God had given them. On the other hand, He rebuked the one who hid what he was given.
Spend time with God and ask Him how He wants you to manage what He has gifted you. Stewardship requires wisdom to know how you are meant to add value and leave things better. The Bible calls us to work like we are working for God and not unto man. Start living with a consciousness of how God wants you to look after the blessings He has given you, so that one day you hear Him say “Well done, you good and faithful servant”.
