When we hear the word stewardship, the first thing that comes to mind is probably a fundraising campaign for a church. Our minds typically go to a pastor standing before his people, begging for money. Or, we hear people talk aboutt stewardship of time or talents.
That may be true in some circles, but I want us to think about a different style of stewardship. This stewardship is something that each of us, I believe, are called to be a part of. It’s stewardship of ideas.
We serve a God of creativity. We can look all around us and see the hand of God at work in his creation. With that said, I believe that God has planted within us a seed of creativity that we are called to use for the betterment of mankind. God does work through His people to bring ideas for solutions in this world.
For every problem or need you may have, I believe you’re not alone. Others have the same need.
When God gives you an idea for the solution to your problem, my challenge to you today is to share that solution with others. I believe that part of the Christian mandate is to help our fellow man. It’s an obligation we all have.
Again, God has planted within you a seed of creativity. You should find that seed and use it to God’s glory. If God has built you to be great, and He has by the way, and you settle for mediocrity, it’s not right. You will never live in the center of God’s will and fulfill the purpose he has called you to, if you continue to fail to use the creative seed he has given.
Are you being a good steward of the ideas and solutions that God has given you? If not, you can begin to change your focus today. It doesn’t matter your age, your status in society or your education.
When you begin to use the seed of creativity that God planted within you, the sky is the limit in your pursuit of happiness.
Stewardship is more than time, money and talent. It is also a call each of us have to impact this dark world with the light of Jesus Christ.
Plan – Build – Live
