God wants us to care for the blessings we've been entrusted

God entrusts us with much. Talents. Family. Friends. A good mind. Time. Money. Possessions. A vocation. And many more blessings that aren't listed.

God wants the best for us. God wants us to be so much and do fulfill our purpose. Through the Bible we can read about 500 verses on prayer, and fewer than 500 verses on faith, but there are more than 2,500 verses about money and possessions. God wants to guide us on how we should handle the things with which we've been entrusted.

Take a look in the good book if you need help in discerning how to manage your blessings--it's a wonderful guide!

I never realized just how many scripture verses deal with money and possessions. God will provide for our needs, we just have to trust and have a completely balanced life of Stewardship!

Giving of our first fruits is often difficult!

First fruits of time, talent, and treasure. What are first fruits? Giving of what we have before we start divvying it up to give and/or spend in other ways. If we get 24 hours in a day, how much of that time will be spend with God?

We're called if we think about tithing to give 10% of what we have to God. Are we willing to give 144 minutes per day to God. Then we can subtract out however much time we need for sleeping and work/school. Whatever is left is ours. Maybe 10% seems a bit much, so even just giving 1% means giving God 14 minutes each day. Do you give God 1% of your time every day?

What about giving our talents. We may have many gifts and talents, which are given to us to use to glorify God. How can we give of those talents to the building of God's kingdom? We should somehow return gratefully what we have to God.

Lastly, our treasure. Check out this video  and think about what you need versus what you want...
