God loves to bless us with the use and enjoyment of many wonderful things. As Christians, we are more accurately defined biblically as shepherds or stewards of our relative resources rather than as rulers or masters. God has graciously given us a free will to make decisions regarding His belongings, but that does not change the fact that it still all belongs to God. God has high expectations of us when it comes to how we take care of the blessings He bestows on us. Let me give you this analogy.
Corporations are well known for their detailed budgets and financial statements.
They do it because the shareholders or owners of the company require that the managers use the company s resources wisely. Likewise, God is the ultimate shareholder. Budgeting enables us to be excellent shepherds of God s resources. When God sees that we are faithful with small things, it is part of His character to bless us with even greater things. God consistently praises the wise and diligent.
