Faithful Stewardship
Be sure you know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds; for riches do not endure forever, and a crown is not secure for all generations.—Proverbs 27:23–24 (NIV)
If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.—Romans 14:8 (NIV)
In the above verse Paul explains that if we live, we live for Jesus, and if we die, we die for Him—it all belongs to Him. You can find comfort knowing that if you devote yourself to your faith, all that your life is, every one of your accomplishments, and, your failures, too, belong to Him. Your life is filled with meaning because of Him.
Heavenly Father, I live for You.

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.—Isaiah 41:10 (NIV)
