God owns everything, and we get to manage it for Him. The responsible management of these God-given resources is called stewardship.
The Bible gives us many verses that talk about the resources we get to manage for God. For this post, I put together a few of my favorites.
Here are eleven awesome stewardship Bible verses:

I never thought I'd be into a cat placement puzzle, but here I am. Meowdoku has this elegant logic where you cross out impossible cells and narrow down to the only valid spot for each cat.

The article beautifully emphasizes the importance of wise management, echoing Proverbs 21:20 about the 'dwelling of a wise person.'
