 You Are a Steward of God’s Grace 

God has entrusted you with the treasures of his grace. 

Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms (1 Peter 4:10, NIV). 

In New Testament times, every wealthy household had a steward. This was the head servant, who was entrusted with everything that the master owned, to manage it for the good of the master.  

Today, we would call this person a “manager.” The key requirement for being a steward was that you were trustworthy. The Bible tells us that, 

It is required in stewards that one be found faithful  (1 Corinthians 4:2, NKJV).  Most of us aspire to have an important position one day, whether in our careers, or our society, or even just in our families.  

But if we belong to Jesus, we’ve already been given the most important position of all. The apostle Peter tells us that we should serve “one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God” (1 Peter 4:10, NASB). 

God has entrusted you with the treasures of His grace. What are you doing  with the grace God has given you? 

Have you let it flourish and grow and fill every part of your life? Have you shared it freely and generously with others? Have you spoken grace, lived grace, and been grace to those who need it? If so, then you are indeed a faithful steward of God’s grace.  

Take just a moment and ask God to give you opportunities to show His saving grace to others.  Who specifically can you share your story of grace with this week?
