But why would God give us more if we aren’t taking care of the things He has already given us?
Luke 16:10 (NIV) tells us, “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.”
In order to get “more” from God, we need to take care of what we have. We need to prove that we can be trusted.
We pray for health but run our bodies ragged.
We pray for more money, but spend it on fruitless, materialistic things.
We pray for a new vehicle, but don’t respect the one we currently have.
We ask for friends, but we don’t nurture the relationships that we already have.
We ask for a promotion at work, but we don’t give it our full effort.
We ask for blessings from God, but aren’t thankful for the ones right in front of us.
Stewardship…. That’s the word I’ve chosen for 2026.
Everything we have been given belongs to God. We have to be good stewards of the blessings that God has given us. God has entrusted us… so why are we so quick to take advantage?
Whether that is working out to take care of your body, maintaining the home that you prayed so hard for, putting your best foot forward at the job God called you to do…. We must be good stewards.
“You cannot expect abundance if you do not accept God’s standard of stewardship.”
