'And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward,
whom his Lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion
of meat in due season?' LUKE 12:42
The
possessions a steward controls are not his own and he does not have the freedom
to do with them as he wishes.
He is
supposed to carry out the desires of the one who made him steward.
A banker
is a steward. He has been entrusted with other people's money. He is free to
invest that money wisely in a way that will benefit his depositors and
stockholders, but would be sent to jail if he took all that money and simply
consumed it upon himself.
A steward
is accountable (Lk. 16:2) to
someone else for the use of that person's money. The money does not belong to
him even though it is in his possession.
This
parable, and other scriptures (1
Corinthians 4:1; Titus 1:7; 1 Peter 4:10),
describes every believer as a steward of God's grace.
The
wealth, talents, and abilities we possess, as well as the revelation of God's
love that we've been given, are not our own to do with as we please.
We have
received these things from God and are therefore accountable to Him for the use
or misuse of these gifts.
Keeping
this in mind is essential for fulfilling our obligation to God as stewards of
His 'manifold grace.'
