Being a good steward is the sound management of the resources that God has given us, management that gives glory to God. In this Sunday’s Gospel, the Canaanite woman asked that Jesus heal her daughter of a demon. Jesus tells her that God’s resources are meant for the Children of Israel and that he was sent to minister to them and not to the “Others”. He tells her that it isn’t right to give the children’s food (God’s resources) to the dogs. She reminds him that even the scraps of God’s resources can be used for the Glory of God. At that point, Jesus changes his mind and uses God’s healing powers to relieve the woman’s daughter of her demon. Our stewardship probably won’t be as dramatic as the healing of demons; however, we should use our talents and resources to the Glory of God in any way we can.
