Character of a Good Steward
How do you know if you are a good steward of God's gift to you. Are people willing to follow you as an example to others? What have you done with the gift God has given you? God gift us a gift to be stewards of certain areas in our lives. We have to have integrity to conduct our selves in a God like manner. He/she has to be generous with God's gift and know what God's gift to share with others. A good steward also must be grateful for the gift and take care of the gift as is it was their own. Mostly a good steward must be loyal to God, knowing who they are, and whose they are.

O Most High;

and your faithfulness by night
