Brothers and sisters, "who is wise and understanding among you?" (James 3:13). Let him show the wisdom from above, by walking fitting to his character. If he calls himself a steward of the many gifts of God, let him see that all his thoughts, words, and works fulfill the duty God has assigned him. It is no small thing to lay out for God all which you have received from God. it requires all your wisdom, all your determination, all your patience and faithfulness; far more than ever you had by nature but not more than you may have by grace. His grace is sufficient for you. "All things," you know, " are possible to him that believes" (Mark 9:23). By faith, then "put on the Lord Jesus Christ" (Romans 13:14), "put on the whole armor of God" (Ephesians 6:11), and you will be able to glorify Him in all your words and works. Yes, to bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ!
Adapted from "The Good Steward" in The Collected Sermons of John Wesley.
