STEWARDSHIP MOMENT

This is an interesting question because most often we find it hard to understand exactly what
worship or worshiping God is all about. Is giving thanks and praise, singing or shouting? Is it
fellowshipping with one another? Is it going to church?

When we think about charity, we think about giving our financial resources to nonprofit
organizations. Helping the poor and needy.
In the words of Howard Dayton “If giving is merely to a church, a ministry or to a needy person it is only charity; but if it is to the Lord, it becomes an act of worship. Because Jesus Christ is our Creator, our Savior, and our Provider, we can express our gratefulness and love by giving our gifts to him. For example, when the offering plate is being passed at church, we should
consciously remind ourselves that we are giving our gift to the Lord Himself.”

Giving is an act of worshipping and praising God, and we use our gifts to grow his kingdom.
 

Thanks be to God.

SCRIPTURE: PSALM 103: 1-4

Praise the Lord, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits – who forgives all your sins and heals
all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion.
