The greatest resource given the Steward to govern is the Scriptures because it is the Master speaking. His Word is like none other and is the Royal Treasure I hold in my hand every day. One cannot know these things anywhere else because it comes from outside time and space. I reread Romans 9-11 again this morning because of all the explosions in the Middle East. Israel is in the middle of national volcanic action happening all around them and I wanted to read again God's perspective on Israel.
The landscape of the plan of God from the beginning is laid out with the valleys and mountains of His knowledge and wisdom with the river of grace running through the whole creation. When I read how complete is His knowledge and plan, I wonder at how I can be so foolish in my own doubt. Quite often lately, I ransack my own ideas about how poorly I perform and have misgivings about my own life management plan. But, when I read again about the Master's incredible wisdom and power, I am so happy that I am a Steward and have no illusions about owning anything in this world.
He assures me that the landscape and mapping of my own few years in the earth are as much in His hands as the world's history. Without this super-natural Word, I would not know that naturally. Being a good Steward requires being an avid student of the Word because it reveals the One I serve. The more I know of Him, the greater the rest in Him.
