July Good and Faithful Steward

Saturday, 6

READ: Matt.25:14-16, MORE LESSONS: I Cor.4:1-2

God wants each of you to be a good steward of the gifts, grace, talents and abilities that He has given to you. He wants you to be a good steward of your:

* time.

* money.

* gifts and talents.

* relationships.

* opportunities.

* entire life

In our text, people were given money according to their different abilities. The purpose of the money was very clear, they were to invest the money and make profits for their master. The Bible says the servant who received more money immediately to invest the money and he soon doubled it. He did not waste time but acted promptly. He did not take his relationship with his master for granted, so he did what the man told him to do. He was a faithful began steward of what he had. God blessed and commended him. What are you doing with what you have-the money, gifts, talents, relationships and even your life? You are not the owner of anything, God owns it all and He can take it or call you any time to give account of them. The rich fool says to himself,...thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? Luke 12:19-20.

The rich fool forgets that all his blessings and himself belong to God. May you be found to be a good and faithful steward of all that God has committed to your care!
