Each week in Rush Creek News we are exploring insights from the NIV Stewardship Study Bible. Last week explored the Who of stewardship and what it really means that God own’s everything. By design, that means that we don’t. Yet he has given us the privilege of stewarding his resources. But why?
The Why of Stewardship
Why would an all-knowing, all-powerful God, who is in control of all he created, appoint us as stewards over his resources? God does not need us to be his stewards. God is more than capable of managing his creation. If God does not need us to be his stewards, why has he chosen us to be his stewards?
A close study of Scripture reveals seven purposes for why God has commissioned us as his stewards. Tune in next week to know more about the seven purposes of why God has commissioned us as his stewards.
