Healthy Stewardship: Faithfully Caring for God's ProvisionsSample

Day 1: Understanding Stewardship

Scripture: Genesis 1:26-28 (NKJV)

26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

Reflection: God entrusted us to be stewards of His creation. Reflect on the honor and responsibility of God giving us such an incredible responsibility to care for literally everything He first created. Stewarding well is a way to worship God by operating in His will to provide abundance.

Prayer: Lord, help me grasp the depth of my responsibility as Your steward. Show me the proper way to approach caring for what You have entrusted me to steward. In Jesus name, Amen.
