I am a manager!
In today’s world, we often use the word manager rather than being a steward.
But the word stewardship means “carefully and responsibly managing something entrusted to one’s care.”
Before sin entered the human race, God created a garden and entrusted two people with the responsibility to care for it. In Genesis 1 verse 28, we read that God created the earth and asked man to look after it. The earth was entrusted to man to manage it.
But when sin entered into the world, man thought that he was the owner and as a result forgot his responsibility of being managers.
What do we manage?
Firstly, we must realize that our very lives are entrusted to us by God. Therefore, being good managers means that we live for His pleasure and not ours.
However, living in the worldview that one has to strive to get to the top, we can forget the God-given responsibility of being a manager and live like this life belonged to us and we can do with it what we or the world wants us to do.
Secondly, think of the resources that God has entrusted us with. It could be a house, a car, some money in the bank, a smartphone, a laptop, books, shoes, etc.
Do we think of these resources that we are managing as belonging to God? Or do we think of them as our own?
We really don’t own anything. We didn’t come into this world with anything and we are not going to take anything out of this world. All that we have is a gift.
This is extremely important! We will never honor and glorify God until we settle this truth into our hearts and minds.
Would our thinking drastically change if we would consider that we are only managers of these God-given resources? It sure would. We would cease to be hoarders, we would ask God of how we should be handling the resources; we would have less worries to keep up with the Jones’. In other words, life will take on a whole new dimension, revolving around God instead of ourselves.
The key to be a good manager is to hand over ownership of all resources that we have, including our very lives to God. If you think this is tough, think of the alternative–stay a rat in the rat race.
Ask yourself, are you a good manager?
Quote: “The Christian shoemaker does his duty not by putting little crosses on the shoes, but by making good shoes, because God is interested in good craftsmanship.” ― Martin Luther
Prayer: Lord, what do you want me to do today with all You have entrusted me with, to honor you, and to advance Your Kingdom? Help me to be a good manager. Amen

When we think about stewardship, we often think about money. But stewardship means “taking care of that which is entrusted to us.” This involves more than money. In this 7 day reading plan, we will learn about why this life and everything that we possess does not belong to us but has been given to us by God, and we are accountable to Him. This is what stewardship of life is all about.
