Steward or Caretaker!

Most times, we ask God for this and that; then, when God delays that is, according to our time, we start complaining and grumbling, we start to work less and work with little or no dedication in God's vineyard We start to have an "I don't care attitude" to the things of God. However, let me ask you a question : The things God has given you to look after, be it material or spiritual, how have you been taking care of it, infact, have you been taking care of it at all, how has it been faring in your hands, is it thriving or striving, is it struggling or is it diminishing or is it growing or is it been abused or is it fulfilling its purpose? Have you been paying attention to its welfare, are you attentive to its details? Most times, we ask God to bless us, provide for us, take care of us, protect us, however, can we boldly say that we have been doing the same to that which was committed into our hands. It could be money, children, houses, animals, tenants, business, our responsibilities and duties at work or in the church, your family, in-laws, etc., the list is countless. The Bible says "when you take care of the little allotted to you, then, more will be given unto you then(Luke 16:10-13, Luke 19:24-26) and how you take care of it will determine, if you are worthy to have more.. NOTE: Personally, I doubt been a good and worthy care-taker...#Terrible!(Jesus, have mercy!)
