The question is about what he will do to the tenants

The verse tells the final outcome in detail

Care for what is entrusted to you as something that will be answered for

Use what you have however you want, because it is effectively yours

Focus only on visible religious acts, since ownership does not matter

Wait until someone points out a problem before taking responsibility

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I have lived as if my life were my own, and I have sinned against you. I turn from my sin and ask for your mercy. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I confess you as my Lord and ask you to rule my life from this day on. Forgive me, receive me, and make me yours. Amen.

Belong to You

Father, revive your Church to remember that we belong to you. Where we have acted like owners instead of stewards, humble us; where we have ignored your questions, wake us up; where we have used your gifts carelessly, make us faithful again, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Wake Your Church to Faithful Stewardship

Pray by naming one area of life you tend to treat as your own. Ask God what belongs to him, confess where you have been careless, and ask for one faithful next step.

Pray for a Steward’s Heart

Give thanks for God’s right to ask hard questions, for his patience with unfaithful people, and for the mercy that gives another chance to turn back.

Thank God for Honest Oversight

Lord, bless the people who carry responsibility—parents, leaders, workers, and teachers. Help them handle what is entrusted to them with honesty, care, and humility, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

For People Entrusted With Responsibility

Lord, show me where I have used your gifts for myself alone. Teach me to treat time, money, work, and influence as things entrusted to me, not things I own. Grow in me a faithful heart that answers you gladly, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Turn My Hands Back to You
