Stewardship

Lady of Light

In 1 Corinthians 4:1-4, Paul speaks of us being a steward of the mysteries of God.
To understand what he meant by this, it is necessary to understand that in those days, servants had no position, but stewards did. A steward was a slave who administered all the affairs of his master's household, though he himself owned nothing. As a point of interest, Joseph held such a position in the house of Potiphar. (Genesis 39:2-19).

As stewards, we as believers manage the message and ministry that God has entrusted to us just as the Christians did in Paul's day.

In order to be good stewards of God's message, we need, not only to be prayerful, but to spend time in God's word so that we are prepared "in season and out of season" to communicate and so live God's truth.

Consider the fact that truth endures, and it permeates everything we think, say and do. Meditate on God's word today and pray that he will guide you in sharing and doing that which has been entrusted to you.

God bless you and have a great day!
