Day 20 | Being a Faithful Steward

Scripture: Proverbs 3:9

Devotion

Honoring the Lord means being mindful and recognizing that everything we have belongs to Him. We are called to be faithful stewards of what He has entrusted to us. When we give, it’s a response rooted in acknowledging that our resources are His to begin with.

Giving requires us to engage with the world through this lens. It’s placing our trust in the Lord, acknowledging that when we freely give, we are confident that He will provide. Honoring the Lord means not clinging tightly to what we have out of fear but releasing it with faith that He will continue to care for us.

He is glorified when we live in obedience to His calling. He is glorified when we are faithful with what we have been given. He is glorified when we worship and praise Him, not just with our words, but with the way we live our lives and give of our time and resources. In recognizing Him as Lord over all, our trust grows deeper, and we experience the joy of honoring Him with the material things He has entrusted us with.

Today, consider how you can trust God more deeply by honoring Him with what He has given you.

A Personal Prayer
