Stewardship Reflections: “My God will supply whatever you need…” - PHILIPPIANS 4:19 God really does provide for those who are grateful and generous. This is very difficult for people that don’t live a stewardship lifestyle to believe. People are skeptical and say it’s just coincidence. If you are skeptical, try living a stewardship lifestyle for just one month – be generous with your gifts of time in prayer, talent in charitable works and treasure and see how God provides for your needs. Pray for an end to hatred and violence in the United States and throughout the world.
