God used parables in the Bible to teach ordinary people like us about Kingdom principles. In Matthew 25:14-30,  we read about the parable of the talents and how each servant was given  different amounts from their master according to their ability. Two of  the servants went and doubled what was given to them and one simply  buried theirs. The master was pleased with the two but furious with the  one who did nothing with his. God wants us to steward every area of our  life, not just our finances, and to be a blessing to others through our  stewardship. With our stewarding God wants us to be trustworthy with all  He gives us (1 Corinthians 4:2). It is God who owns all things and we  have a responsibility to steward it well. We also need to have respect  for the King and the Kingdom of God (proverbs 9:10). We need to be  accountable for what we do with what we’ve been given. We need to commit  ourselves to having initiative and trust in God’s goodness (psalm 31:19). We also need wisdom in stewarding what God has given us (Ephesians 5:15-16).  And when we ask God for wisdom he gives it to us abundantly. We need to  be thankful for all we have been given (1 Thessalonians 5:18). God has  called us to steward many things including: all creation, our property,  our spiritual gifts and our finances. Let us learn to steward well all  what God has given us.
