Stewardship: Want and Money

Stewardship God has made us all stewards of our lives. We do not become those stewards of life we are the stewards. He has made us owners of everything in our life.

We may think that because we aren’t making as much as we would like that we are broke and can’t survive. I have had no money before and know what
