It’s not what you have but what you do with it …

In his book, Stewarding Life, Paul Chappel makes the following observation about God’s measure of stewardship:

“When a church or business hires an outside accounting firm to audit their books, the CPAs are not so concerned with the volume of the financial transactions on the church or business ledgers. Rather, they check and double-check the accuracy.”

Following up on that theme, Nathan Barber noted, “When it comes time for God to ‘audit’ each Christian’s service, He will do so based upon our faithfulness in managing the resources that He has entrusted to us, rather than the volume of resources we have managed. Faithfulness is God’s measure of stewardship!”

“Now, a person who is put in charge as a manager must be faithful,” 1 Corinthians 4:2.

When it comes to your stewardship of all God has given you, how faithful are you to manage and invest those resources for the kingdom and glory of God?
