He also said to the disciples, “There was a rich man who had a manager, and charges were brought to him that this man was wasting his possessions. And he called him and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Turn in the account of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’" Luke 16:1-2 (ESV) The Scriptures make it clear that all we have belongs to God, and we are stewards, or managers, of these resources, not owners. If we are managers, then we will one day be held accountable to how we managed. Whether we have much or little will not matter. What matters is how we managed what was entrusted to us. How was what was entrusted to us used to honor the King? God gives us resources for many reasons. He gives us resources to take care of the normal needs of life, to be used to love Him and others, and to be a conduit for His love and provision. I need to act in accordance with the fact that God owns all I have. He does not own just 10%, or even my offering above 10%. He owns it all, and will one day hold me accountable for my management. |
