George Herbert: Steward abundance for others

“If I have enough for myself and family, I am steward only for myself; if I have more, I am but a steward of that abundance for others.”

George Herbert (1593-1633) Anglican Priest in Forty Thousand Quotations, Prose and Poetical, compiled by Charles Noel Douglas (London: George G. Harrap & Co., 1917) 13.

As God blesses our work, he does this so that we can care for our families and be conduits of blessing to others. Has God provided abundantly, or “more than enough” of something for you today? How might you steward that abundance for others to reflect life in God’s economy today?
