The Soul Of Stewardship

God doesn't need you money,

but you need to give our money to God.

This is a good barometer for telling how you feel about God: money. This isn't about how much you give. God is more interested in your attitude about giving than the amount you give. Your attitude about money revels much about our relationship with God.

"Stewardship" is the way in which you handle what God has given to you. You want to be  a good steward of His blessings, but stewardship means much more than being wise with your money and then throwing a few bucks into the offering plate. Stewardship involves realizing that everything you have comes from God. Stewardship requires that you give to God the firstfruits, not the leftovers. And you should consider stewardship a privilege, not a chore.

God won't force you to give back a portion of what He has given you, but He promises to bless you if you do.

"Bring all the tithes into the storehouse

so there will be enough food in my Temple.

If you do, "says the Lord Almighty,

"I will open the windows of heaven for you ."

MALACHI 3:10
