“The earth is the LORD’s and all that is in it, the world, and those who live in it.”
Psalm 24:1
As Thanksgiving approaches, we begin thinking about all the things we are grateful for.
Family, friends, a roof over our heads, food on the table, and the countless blessings we sometimes take for granted. But how often do we stop to consider that none of these things truly belong to us? Everything we have is a gift from God, entrusted to our care.
That’s the beautiful reminder we find in Psalm 24. Everything belongs to God, including us! And when we begin to see our lives through that understanding, something changes.
We stop asking, “How much of what I have should I give to God?” and begin asking, “How can I use what God has given me to share God’s love with others?”
This Sunday, we begin our stewardship sermon series, All That We Have.
Over the next three weeks, we’ll explore what it means to live as faithful stewards of God’s blessings. Yes, that includes our financial giving, but it also includes our time, our talents, our compassion, and our willingness to serve.
Stewardship isn’t simply about supporting a church budget. It’s about allowing God’s grace to shape how we live and love.
Friends, God has entrusted us with so much, and what a blessing it is to share those gifts!
As we enter this season of gratitude, may we remember that everything we have comes from God, and everything we offer in love can become a blessing to someone else.
Prayer: Gracious God, thank you for the many blessings you have entrusted to our care. Open our hearts to recognize your goodness and guide us to use our gifts faithfully. May our generosity reflect your grace, and may our lives be a blessing to others. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
Grace and peace,
