His goal was relational, not financial. Stewardship is more than money. Stewwardship, giving, tithing, is more than talents.
Stewardship is more than possessions.
Stewardship stresses life management of all we are and all we have for the purpose of glorifying God. Growing in your faith and trust in God opens the door wider for His love and presence to fill your heart and mind. Christian Stewardship begins with the realization that God owns it all. Giving back to the Lord what is already His does not earn us any special privileges. After all, we are merely fulfilling an obligation.
