I'm going to start off this entry with a little fact about myself - I like words. I like to know what they mean and I like to learn new words. I am one of those people that have to know what a word means before I can turn the page. Lol. Sometimes I will even look up a word that I already know just to learn more about that word.
One word that has sparked my interest is the word, “steward”.

I would always hear that God wanted me to be a good "steward" of my money. By definition a steward is a person who is in charge of another person’s finances. This really spoke to me when I first learned this. I thought, “Oh dear. If I am in charge of God’s money, then what am I doing with it?”
I knew I was supposed to be tithing (Malachi 3:10) but there was another scripture that also caught my attention: 1 Chronicles 29:14, “But me – who am I, and who are these my people, that we should presume to be giving something to you? Everything comes from you; all we’re doing is giving back what we’ve been given from your generous hand.” The Message.
 
So everything that I have originally came from His generous hand. I have because He first gave to me (John 3:16). I have to remind myself not to hold on so tightly to something that could be a blessing to others. 1Peter 4:10 says, “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” So whatever the gift is, whether it be an encouraging word, praying for others, money,… I can’t keep it in my heart or in my hand if it was meant to have a home in the heart or hand of another. <3
