In Corinthians 3:20-22, the Holy Spirit, through the apostle Paul, uses the word “stewardship,” He is talking about much more than our wallets and purses.

“The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.’ So, let one boast in men. For all things are yours – all are yours, and you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s”

First thought: All things are yours.

The danger in these words is that we might see the things we have in life as ours. That is not the case in stewardship. God does not give us ownership of the things we have in life. More accurately, He entrusts us with the things that we need to support our body and life and the body and life of our neighbor. God entrusts us with all we need to steward our life and the lives of those around us so that we might be faithful stewards of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

During this Pandemic, it is a good time for us to watch out for our neighbors. Especially, those who are home alone and can’t get out to get the bare necessities to exist during this time.

God Bless you all!
