Stewardship

Serve one another, each according to the gift he has received, as good stewards of the many forms of God’s grace. (1 Peter 4:10)

Here at the coast, we love the sunrises. They are breathtaking. We behold their beauty and grab a photo. A beautiful sunrise is God's gift to us. And since it's not earned or deserved, we see that it's his grace. In this example, good stewardship of the gift involves just noticing and appreciating it; maybe even sharing a photo with others.

Consider two other gifts of grace. God has given us the gift of his presence (Immanuel, "God with us") and he's given us the gift of his written word (the Scriptures). How can we steward well his near-ness and his revealed wisdom to us?
