6. Good stewardsare passionate about faithfulness, persevering through the bad as well as the good times.
a) I Corinthians 4:2: Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful.
7. Good stewards perform their work for the earthly owners “as unto the Lord.”
a) Ephesians 6:7L With goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men.
8. The only motivation good stewards need to perform their task is to please the owner.
a) Hebrews 13:16-17: But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.
A steward is one who protects and adds value to the assets placed under their care by the owner. Stewards manage people, property, and resources which belong to another. A steward serves the owner and is accountable to them for the trust which the owner has placed in them.
1. God created everything and is the owner of it all.
2. Man is given responsibility to steward what God has created.
3. Because we were created in God’s image, we are expected to manage His resources in exactly the same way the Lord would manage them Himself.
Are you getting the picture?

Hello Jacques,
That is so powerful. Most people do not think that they will have to answer for how they used the things of this earth. The Lord lets us have some of his most prized things "children" and some do harm to them. Those that do that will pay a very high price for that.
It is good to think about it in these terms. How are we doing and change what we need to change to do better in our lives.
