       Ministers and missionaries are more free than they a lot of times realize. Free to make good choices which will benefit the kingdom of God—good choices on where to lead, and even what to focus on. If God has put a person in that position to begin with, he trusts them. This idea of stewardship seems to be understood among us, as Americans, easily when thinking of, like corporations, or even sports teams, for instance. With a cooperation, a CEO (Chief Executive Officer) is entrusted with making good and wise business choices. He or she oftentimes doesn’t even need to consult others when making those choices. Sometimes they do, and sometimes they don’t. Coming to mind, in keeping corporations in focus, and using a specific example here, was when Steve Jobs, of Apple Inc, was handing off the reigns to Tim Cook. Steve trusted Tim from working with him over the years, and he knew he would lead Apple well. And that puts Apple in Tim’s hands, so that he makes the decisions to best lead the company.
