Parenting by Design Daily DevotionalSample
STEWARDSHIP
Joseph was a very good steward. Although he didn't own anything in Potiphar's house, he was entrusted with everything in it as manager. Joseph never laid claim to Potiphar's possessions, but he managed Potiphar's affairs well, knowing one day he would be accountable for the results.
Don't forget that you have been given stewardship over your children, rather than ownership. They belong to God, but He has entrusted you with their care and growth while they are under your care. How might this perspective affect the way you parent?
Children belong to God, and you are God's steward over them.
