The truth from each of these situations is that with increased possessions come increased opportunities and obligations for service. If we practice total stewardship, God is the owner of all we have. As stewards we will use our material possessions to accomplish His will. If I am a faithful steward for God, I will spend my talents, my energy, and my time in light of His values. It may be far easier to tithe my income than to tithe my time.
Faithful stewardship goes beyond financial tithing.
All of my time is God's. All my talents and energies are God's. Since this is true, I must carefully measure where I put my time. Time is the universal equalizer. Everybody has the same amount each day.
