Stewardship
Stewardship. This
really encompasses every area of our lives and everything we do as followers of
the Way. The maintenance of our focus, which is also grounded on our Foundation;
of remembering; of managing our talents; of our money; of our time; and of all our
other resources are all forms of stewardship. In the beginning God gave man
dominion over the earth, in essence at that point in time we (mankind) assumed
the role of stewardship. With the Fall, man had the even bigger responsibility
of making the right choice between good and evil. After the fruit was eaten,
mankind then had the knowledge of good and evil, the very name that God gave to
that tree testifies to that fact (Genesis 2:16-17).
In a deeper sense, we can
think of Stewardship as they way that we look over our own affairs and those of
our family in accordance with the will of God.
