“The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein.” Psalm 24:1

“A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven.” John 3:27

Understanding our position as stewards over what our Heavenly Father entrusts to us has kept us from stumbling many times in our Kingdom walk. Whether it was a promotion we didn’t get or a crack in our windshield, we learned not to sweat the circumstances we had no control over. Were we disappointed in either situation? Yes. The times when aggravation and frustration overstay their welcome, are the times we realize we might just be taking ownership of the situation and need to repent to Yahweh and release it back to Him. Our response should always be – Yahweh you know! When we truly believe that our steps are ordered, we will understand our faithfulness will ultimately produce perpetual blessing. Our reaction and state of mind will either position us for increase or we will eventually succumb to the frustration of our own futile mind.

Whether it is a job, place, idea, vision, person, pet, or thing, we must understand that Yahweh is the owner of it all – we will be judged on our stewardship over His treasures entrusted to us. We believe that it has helped us to value and maintain all that surrounds us – each other, friends, our career, finances, and all the things given to us. All we have control over is our faithfulness throughout each given day. When circumstances around us seem to get out of control, we must look to Yahweh and trust that “He is working all things for our good.”(paraphrased from Romans 8:28)
