Are you a good steward?

Reading: Job 22-23 and Luke 16

Scripture: Luke 16:10-12, One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much. If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? And if you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?

Thoughts: In the United States the American dream used to be a family with 2.5 kids, a dog, and a house with a white picket fence. Today it seems like the American dream has changed to be rich and famous. It is common to want more than you have. As we strive for what we think we need are we listening to God and stewarding what He has given us thus far? If we are not good stewards, why would anyone entrust us with anything?

Prayer: Lord God, I thank you for allowing me to steward what you have entrusted me with. I thank you for choosing to bless me even when I fail. I ask that you give me wisdom to better steward those blessings and provisions you give me. I thank you for leading and guiding my family.
