We know that God doesn't entrust everyone with the same level of responsibility. As much as I would love to be entrusted with a billion dollars, that does not seem to be my lot in life. It's easy to sit around and spend our time wishing we had what another had, or imagining what great things we might do if we had been given something different. We often focus on what we don't have rather than what we do.
What God expects from us, regardless of what we have, is faithfulness. We've all been given some level of responsibility. Can we be steadfastly obedient as stewards of whatever gifts we have? Do we exercise discipline and care? Are we thoughtful in how we use what we have? Do we consider how God is calling us to use the gifts we have? I don't think we need to be perfect, although we certainly ought to strive for it. I do believe that we should see this life as an opportunity to demonstrate gratitude to God by faithfully taking care of the people and opportunities that surround us, whatever those may be.
