What is to steward shrewdly and with solid acumen, according to God's divine decrees and command ?

*

Good question !

*

Cf. The parable of the talents. Cf. Matthew 25:14-19 English Standard Version (ESV) The Parable of the Talents 14 : “For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants[ a] and entrusted to them his property. 15 To one he gave five talents,[ b] to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability’  

*

*

The master and the three managers: one given 5 talents  , the other , 2 and the other 1. The one having the most to administer  is keenest to multiply the most , the one  fairly entrusted fairly reaped , and the One entrusted with some, buried it..

*

Moral of the story: it's not the quantity of what is sown but the well wishing will to sow and multiply according to natural and subtle laws 

*

With 1 item entrusted,  we should have the same will to make abundant and overflowing as the first and diligent manager who shrewdly masters his business.  He ruled over a few things and satisfied , his master made him Ruler over many things.  

*

Which makes us think of the transient and transformative side alchemical nature of shrewd and diligent stewardship to blessed sonship....

*

Because herein the key is not the "many things” of worth entrusted to one's good care but the truth behind that state of affairs . Here the main currency is TRUST . Assurance. Accountability and Faith . For thus this implies Faith and vice versa 

*

Add-ons:

*

What have you been entrusted with ? How is the state of your management? How could you better it ? Maximize stewardship with minimal effort ....Good for thought .....for a wise stewardship....
