Bible Verses About Stewardship
Verses about faithfully managing what God has entrusted — time, money, gifts, and creation.
Stewardship is the recognition that we own nothing — we manage everything on behalf of God. These Bible verses on stewardship cover the full scope of what God entrusts to us: our finances, our gifts, our time, our bodies, and the earth itself. The faithful servant is the one who is found trustworthy with little. The master says 'well done' not to the one who played it safe, but to the one who invested wisely. These scriptures will reshape how you think about your resources — not as yours to spend, but His to steward.
“As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.”
1 Peter 4:10
