Our Role
Have faith that God will provide for all of our needs.
Needs vary from wants. Our needs will be provided for.
God's Role
Provide for the needs of every person on earth. Food and covering (both shelter and clothing) are provided by God.
God's Role
Owns and controls all things and the distribution of all things.
Our Role
Recognize and respect God's ownership, control and mastery. Accept ownership of nothing; embrace stewardship of all God gives us.
For a Christian to succeed in the partnership created for humans in God's economy, we can learn to focus on the significance of eternity so that we may grasp the smallness of our "right now" (as described in James 4:14).
God's design created a partnership between himself and his children.
When God's promises and our behaviors are aligned, rewards result.
