Bible Question: Jesus said He sends rain on the just and the unjust. If I won a bet, could I say that it was by divine intervention that I won it? |
Bible Answer: Hi humility To say we are stewards over the things that God has given us, is a bit of a misnomer. Steward - Stewardship Primarily signifies "the management of a household or of household affairs" a steward, (the management or administration of the property of others), thus "a stewardship," as in Luke 16:2-4 Every mention of a person, in regard to being a steward, or having a stewardship in the Bible, refers to a person that takes care of the belongings of others. (Old, and New Testaments) Therefore when we say, we are to be the faithful stewards of the Lord, we are only referring to the Spiritual things the Lord has entrusted into our care. Because we are servants, (slaves) in his household. Luke 12:42 1 Corinthians 4:1,2 Titus 1:7 1 Peter 4:10 Vintage68 |
