Stewardship Involves Trust

A snippet for the book: Balancing Blessings™ and Obtaining Order

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Time with God builds your trust in Him. The three days Esther spent in the presence of God gave her the courage to confront her husband about a decree he approved to destroy her people. God also gave her a plan, and as a result, when she should have been killed she was welcomed by the king with open arms; and when her people should have been annihilated, the enemy was eradicated. That’s the type of power that comes from trusting God.

We are to trust God who is omniscient. He knows the circumstances, trials, battles, stresses and test that are coming our way. In light of that, why wouldn’t we want to take time to consult with God about our day and our life? Time with God saves us time; and trusting God’s guidance enables us to focus on what needs to be done, and the most feasible way of doing it. To think that we have the resources to act without regard for God is unbecoming of us, as Christians; because daily we are called to “walk by faith not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7).
