Day 27 – Friday
Matthew 25:14-30 (parallel: Luke 19:11-27)
God of all things, remind us,
daily, that we are stewards in your household. You have entrusted us with many
things: earth and its great variety of resources, domestic and wild creatures,
money, time, talents, gifts, and relationships.
We frequently forget that we
are stewards and think of ourselves as outright owners. We claim all that we
can grasp as our own. We do not think of your interests and your intention to
create a world where all are blessed with adequate resources to meet their
daily needs and all are enfolded in the embrace of communities of faith, compassion, creativity,
peace, justice and joy.
Enable us to invest the
personal, material and spiritual resources that You entrust us with in ways
that enhance your household and your realm. Give us courage so that we do not
merely hide the resources You have provided because we are fearful that we may
not use them well.
We want to be faithful in all
things. Let your Spirit guide and energize us for wise stewardship. Amen.
