Christian giving is not a payment we make to God or a way of purchasing His favor. It is our grateful response to the Savior who has already given everything for us. Generosity is not something God extracts from us; it is something His grace produces within us.

En[trust]ed | Receive
When we think about stewardship, we usually begin with what we are expected to give. David begins somewhere else: "Everything comes from You." Although God did not permit David to build the temple, David refused to let what he could not do keep him from doing what he could. He received his abilities, opportunities, and resources as gifts from God's hand, used them faithfully, and entrusted the outcome to God.
We often fixate on what we lack or complain about what our limitations keep us from accomplishing. But stewardship brings both responsibility and freedom. We are responsible for caring faithfully for whatever God has placed in our hands; we are free to leave everything else in His. We cannot even free ourselves from the grip of what we possess—but what is impossible for us is possible with God.

Keeping Score | Productivity
We are obssessed with productivity. Whole consulting firms are built around productivity hacks. But what if productivity isn't always all it's cracked up to be?
In Luke 10, Martha is busy serving, working, preparing, and doing. None of that is bad. The problem is not that Martha works. The problem is that her work has made her worried, distracted, and resentful.
Mary sits at Jesus' feet, receiving before doing. Jesus says Mary has chosen what is better. This is not a rejection of productivity. It is a reordering of the soul. Before we are workers in Christ's kingdom, we are receivers of Christ's grace.
