Stewardship We are called to be good stewards of the resources God has entrusted to us, using them to further His kingdom and purposes. Reflecting God's Generosity Our willingness to give reflects God's own generosity towards us, and it is an act of worship and gratitude.Verses 5-10 correspond to vers. 2-7 of ch. 25, the correspondence in the list of offerings being exact.
