The cure for laziness is diligence. The cure for carelessness is good stewardship. Today, Pastor Terry reminds us that we are not the real owners of our possessions. The concept of stewardship is foreign to many of us because we see ourselves as independent owners who can do what we please with “our” stuff. However, Solomon urges us to take good care of those things that God has given to us. Good maintenance of our physical goods will spare us from paying for expensive replacements. And the development of our talents and gifts will lead to lives that are satisfying and rewarding.
