1. The steward of a house is responsible for the people who are in it. This involves caring for them, managing resources, and discerning their needs. The Lord trains us to reign, and to reign is to care for people. Have you exercised this care for those whom the Lord has entrusted to you? Have you been concerned about people? (1 Peter 5:7; Genesis 2:15).
2. We should not treat everyone the same way, for the Lord made us different; no one is the same as another. If there is no equality even in appearance, much less in soul. We are trained to manage God’s house and, above all, to care for people. However, for this, it is necessary, first, to be faithful in the administration of the Lord’s goods (1 Timothy 3:5).
3. God needs people who understand what is in His heart and are sensitive to His desire. When He speaks, we must be ready to respond. As His stewards, we need to practice what we hear. Have you been obeying promptly, or are you still slow to put into practice what the Lord says today? (1 Chronicles 11:17-18).
4. “The Lord Jesus told the disciples that the people were unwilling to repent because their hearts were hardened […] (Matthew 13:14-15). This is the condition of uncircumcision of heart and ears, in which we too can fall if we trust in the capacity of the flesh. […] What proves, in practice, the circumcision of the heart is the skill to hear and understand the voice of the Lord” (Daily Food, book 7, week 3, Friday, pp. 50-51).
