Have you ever enjoyed the splash of color as leaves display their splendor in the fall? Have you ever sat on the beach listening to the rhythm of the waves and feeling the soft, salty breeze on your face? Have you looked at the expanse of the stars twinkling in the night sky and felt the peace of their soft glow? Did you know each creation had the purpose of bringing you joy? Maybe when the grass needed mowing, you thought about the work involved instead of the beauty in a blade of grass, or when you feel the time crunch, you forget that time is a gift.
As a Christian, you carry many titles. One of those titles is steward, and the job of a steward is to practice stewardship. The best way to understand stewardship is to go back to the beginning - the very beginning in the first words in the Bible that spell it out clearly. "In the beginning God made the heavens and the earth." God took a look at everything he created and called it good. Then He took His magnificent, beautiful creation and gave it to mankind giving them dominion over all the earth. Creation was given to people to give Him glory and so mankind could multiply what God had given. It was also given for enjoyment, both yours and His!Understanding stewardship begins with the realization that everything is from God, for God, and belongs to God. Everything is God's. Then the Lord does the amazing thing of entrusting creation to you, the one made in His image. God trusts you to be a steward over His gift to you. This book presents the importance of Christian stewardship, what stewardship means, and how to practice stewardship over the things God has entrusted into your care.
