Being overwhelmed is a legitimate thing.
Especially when you already feel like you are barely holding on, the idea of stewarding your life well can seem too great a weight to bear, no matter the importance.
But it is important.
Very important.
And it starts with one.
The hardest thing to do is start.
Once you have some momentum behind you, it’s kinda easy to keep going.
Stewarding something is simply manage or look after another's property.
Once we give our life to Jesus, our life is no longer our own.
I honestly believe God takes the pressure off in this passage.
The LORD delights to see the work begin.
I’ve heard it put this way, and this is where we are going to camp for the rest of our time.
Pick one thing, and change that.
This principle has changed my life.
Stewarding your life well is doing the best you can with all God has given you.
Another great example of this is found in Matthew 25 where Jesus shares the parable of the talents.
3 servants are each given a different amount of talents.
When the master gets back, he’s not mad that they didn’t all make the same amount back.
He was upset that one of the 3 didn’t even try to improve what he was given.
I’m going to share with you how I have decided to steward my life.
I hope that it helps you.
We are triune beings; mind, body, spirit.
Pick one of these areas to focus on
Sometimes there is one area we may feel is affecting how we care for other areas.
It’s ok if there is some overlap; ie run and pray, read about nutrition
Pick a timeframe to work on that area
Somewhere between 1 month and 1 year.
Longer can get monotonous, shorter you might not see solid results.
Have a plan on where to go next
Don’t wait until the end of one phase to decide the next.
Even if you can only stay 1 step ahead
Above all, be patient with yourself.
Going from something to nothing is hard.
But always remember, The LORD rejoice to see the work begin.
