Using a 1 to 10 scale with 10 being as good as you can imagine life ever being and 1 being as bad as you can imagine life being – rate how you are “managing” in life? How’s life going for you right now?
Right now do you think you function more like an owner or manager of your life and the things in it?
Genesis 3 is the story of mankind rejecting God as “owner” of their lives and our insistence on trying to live like we are the owners. As soon as Adam and Eve sinned everything changed. The story describes in very clear ways the impact assuming ownership has on a human soul that was made to be a steward.
The impact described there was fear, shame and a sense of insufficiency.How do you see those same things playing out in your life and around you?
Is it helpful to think of your soul’s design and capacity being only for stewardship and not for ownership?
What are some things you know that, if they were used outside of their intended purpose, would not function well or would break down?
