“It is a good, learned, and wise steward who takes the resources in his or her hands and lets them become God’s resources. Be it little or large — a widow’s mite or a king’s treasure — from the hand of a steward to the hand of God, resources become powerful tools and symbols in the kingdom of God. What do you have in your hand?”
Lee Crist in “What’s In Your Hand?” article from Light and Life Magazine, December 2014.
While our culture beckons us to focus on the things we do not have, Crist reminds us that faithful stewards consider what we do have, and he reminds us to put that stuff to work. Since it’s a new year, perhaps it’s a good time for each of us to consider what is in our hands and ask ourselves what we are doing with it.
