Entrusted: Your First 35 Days as a Steward

Day 35 of 35 · Week 5: Stewardship of Leadership

Rest, Review, and Go

You made it. Thirty-five days. Take a moment to thank God for His faithfulness to you.

Over these five weeks, you learned to see your life the way God sees it:

• Life: You belong to God, and everything you have is entrusted to you.
• Faith: Your faith is a gift to cultivate through the Word, prayer, and the church.
• Time: Your hours are His, and daily habits build faithfulness.
• Resources: Money, work, and gifts are tools in God's hands, not masters in yours.
• Leadership: You influence others, and you lead best by serving.

This is not the end. It is the beginning of a lifetime of faithful stewardship.

Remember Jesus' story of the master who returned. To his faithful servants he said, Well done, and invited them to share his happiness. That is the future every steward is living toward. Not anxious performance, but joyful faithfulness that ends in the joy of the Master.

Here are a few ways to keep going:

• Keep a daily time with God in His Word and prayer.
• Stay planted in a local church.
• Take your next step: baptism, giving, serving, or discipling someone.
• Start this plan again with a friend.

Pray

Father, thank You for these 35 days. Thank You that I belong to You and that everything I have is Yours. Make me a faithful steward of my life, my faith, my time, my resources, and my influence. I want to hear You say, Well done. Bless me, keep me, and make Your face shine on me. Amen.
