A couple enrolled in a financial stewardship course, and it changed their perspective. They said, “We wish we had done this 15 years ago! It’s been so helpful to realize that ‘our money’ is really ‘God’s money.’… The most significant lesson we learned was that giving to God’s Kingdom is a form of worship.”1

The apostle Paul said about giving: “And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others” (2 Corinthians 9:8, NLT).

In stewardship, we’re giving what the Lord has provided for us. Then He provides some more, which allows us to give more. What a wonderful cycle of sufficiency! King David said, “Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand” (1 Chronicles 29:14, NIV). Don’t wait fifteen years to discover this. Start where you are today!

The less I spent on myself and the more I gave to others, the fuller of happiness and blessing did my soul become.
