What content am I given? To what level must I be attentive to the things of body, mind, spirit and machinery in order to keep producing the optimum level with that which I have been provided? Does that include my attitude and prayer life? Do I self council, fully reflective upon those blessings and provision such that I make sure every person, thing and thought is fully engaged for God’s purposes and outcomes? What is sufficient stewardship? How close must I be to God in order to achieve this status or continuance? Can I walk my lonely road of self-dependence and reach the pinnacle of existence? Or is it in Divine dependence that I find this plateau and effective reverence and regard for the Almighty? When living for God’s outcomes can I use the measures that use for my own ideas of sufficiency and finishing?

Do I value or treat the treasures I receive fully conscious that all blessings come from God? I do fall vulnerable as prey to the belief that somehow I was able to provide for myself or achieve some grand objective outside of God’s blessing? I am not a god but may easily position myself as the most dangerous of their kind when I rely upon myself for fulfillment. For the elusive or deceptive power of self-reliance is the most canny and altering to the relationship with the Father, through Christ Jesus in the Power of the Holy Spirit. I am not the Twain that bridges the gap between man and God. I never had the capacity to reconnect and heal the wounds of sin. Jesus alone and the belief upon His Words alone created the Divine reconciliation between us ending the war with Father.

Is there danger of looking at anyone, any thing, job or otherwise as the provider of my objectives? Or are those objectives that are aligned with God’s direction only found in the discussion or listening for His Holy Guidance? And if my objectives may only be found in the relationship with God, then the provision to reach Divine or carnally impossible objectives only met through the Spirit’s Power to reach them? Is then the responsibility of each Shepherd the stewardship of mind, purpose and provision, fully dependent upon God’s blessings even that of timing? Does this naturally council the greatest reverence is found in readiness for the voice, direction and provisions as they all emanate from God alone? Isn’t then the discussion or Communication Key to achieving the greatest measure of Stewardship? And any departure however innocent of deceptively non threatening a true danger and obstacle to the working calculus of service?

Being the proper steward demands a continual relationship with God as the source of all reason, equipment, treasure and direction. Therefore the relationship with God alone is the single concentration point of Christianity and thought found in prayerful discovery of His Word and Voice in each person’s heart. Without that connection I cannot hope to be where I need to be or have the necessary outfitting requisite for miracles. Therefore I know that I am the greatest danger and threat to God’s Planning. My willingness to stray and limit clear connection and communication with the King is the greatest inhibition to Divine Purpose and Fulfillment. When making choices we are prey to choosing the least necessary input to being found worthy of acceptance. This too is threatening. For I am here to achieve those things beyond myself, miracles. The choice I have extended to the Father is to reach HIS judgment of my efficacy for the Kingdom. Not wanting to produce the bear minimum but rather maximize God’s utility through His Vessel. I commit myself to giving all of self and maintaining the ideals of obedient shepherd regardless of the alternate voices I may meet upon the skinny path. Departure is my enemy. Self-concentration the threat.
