Living with Open Hands [Financial Advisor #189]
Listen to today's devotional:
Scripture
“The earth is the Lord's and everything in it.” — Psalm 24:1.
Devotional
Stewardship begins with ownership.
Or more accurately, recognizing who the true Owner is.
Everything belongs to God.
Your career.
Your resources.
Your opportunities.
Your relationships.
Even your abilities.
You have been entrusted with these gifts, but you do not own them.
This truth creates freedom.
When you view life through the lens of stewardship, you hold things differently.
Success becomes a responsibility rather than an entitlement.
Resources become tools rather than trophies.
Opportunities become assignments rather than possessions.
Living with open hands allows God to direct your priorities and shape your decisions.
It also makes generosity possible.
People who recognize God's ownership are more willing to share, serve, and give because their security rests in Him rather than in what they possess.
The tighter you cling to things, the more control they gain over your heart.
The more open your hands become, the freer you become.
Stewardship is not about losing something.
It is about trusting the One who owns everything.
