You put the people in charge of everything you created, managers over the whole shebang.
1 CORINTHIANS 6:12 (MSG)
Just because something is technically legal doesn’t mean that it’s spiritually appropriate. If I went around doing whatever I thought I could get by with, I’d be a slave to my whims.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God gave us freedom so that we could carry out our mission of being stewards over his creation.
DAILY FODDER
Write out your personal mission statement.
PRAYER
Gracious God, I don't understand why you'd give us responsibility over creation. It is an undeserved honor. We haven't done responsibility well. Help us—help me—to stay on task. Energize me through your Spirit that I might be faithful in carrying out my mission. I'm going to use whatever life I have to serve you and your agenda for the world. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
