Luke 16:10-13 “He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much. Therefore, if you have not been faithful in the use of unrighteous wealth, who will entrust the true riches to you? And if you have not been faithful in the use of that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?  No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.”

As a follower of Christ, I believe in stewardship. It is a call to care for what God has entrusted to me, including my time, resources, and the needs of others.

This calling doesn’t come from government mandates or activist slogans. It doesn’t arise from the expectations of others. It comes from a deeper place: the quiet voice of God within me, directing my steps.

If I have a heart for the unborn, I can support ministries that protect and value life.

If I care for the hungry, I can serve at a food pantry or share what I have.

If I see someone broken down along the road, I can stop and offer help.

If my neighbor can’t mow her lawn, I can start the mower and serve in love.

I don’t need a sign, a platform, or a program to love my neighbor. I need a heart tuned to God’s prompting. I serve not because culture demands it, but because God expects it. His Spirit leads me to act in quiet, faithful ways that reflect His love. It’s not about what others define as justice or charity. It’s about obedience to God.

Lord, give me a heart that listens for Your voice and hands ready to do what You ask. Let me serve because You call me—not because the world expects it. Amen.
