What does it take for us to say, “My Lord and my God”? Part of the steward’s life is consciously taking time to read the stories in scripture, to be part of a faith community, and through prayer, to create a one on one relationship with our Savior. Hopefully, then, we will be thankful to call ourselves part of the faithful who “have not seen and yet believe”.
