The Bullet of Faithfulness: Giving is Natural and Right

Everything we possess has been given to us by God to keep in circulation. We don’t really “own” anything! It is all ours only on a trustee or stewardship basis. Man is God’s “agent” to distribute His wealth.

Everything God made continually gives. The sun gives. The waters give. The air gives. The earth gives. God’s beauty in the skies and the mountains proclaim that the Father’s basic desire is to give!

But man, in his state of rebellion against the God who made him, is different. Man wants to keep. Man’s desire is to get, get, get. Man’s three main words are me, myself and mine!

None of us will ever begin to live until we are faithful to the purpose for which we were created. God has made of us stewards of His wealth. The more you and I keep His gifts to us in circulation the more He will trust us to manage.

In Luke 16:10 our Lord said, “He who is faithful in little is faithful in much.”
