I’m thankful for the Scripture teaching us all we need to know about life. How if we decide to listen and follow it can provide answers even in our darkest times.
Do I invest in eternity? Is my stewardship for me or for Him and His Kingdom?
2 Corinthians 8:8 I say this not as a command, but to prove by the earnestness of others that your love also is genuine. 9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.
The principles of stewardship with integrity are personal and practical. Is my stewardship voluntary and from my heart? That answer will be between God and I one day and one I can wrestle with now with my personal reflection. How much do you want to be blessed with a peace and richness that only He can provide us.
All my intentions can seem in vain without action. Wherever we are at will we understand the richness to finish strong not knowing when that day will come.
Father,
We thank you for Your Word. Words that instruct us how we should live while we wait for Your return. Lord, help us in our ways that point to eternity in Heaven not because of biblical reasons but through faithful reasons. Lord, I pray to continue to work on our hearts because we desire to stand in peace by Your side. Amen
