"Rudy, Stewardship of what God has put before us"

 
The parable of the 10 Talents has implications that not only include investing into the kingdom of God but also teaches about stewardship about what God has given us to handle.
 
One of those things that God has put in our hands to handle is where we live.  We have a responsibility to handle with the wisdom God has provided in his Word to use good stewardship until we are not here to do so.  One of those large concerns of God is the management and engage of our country in which we live.
 
Until we are no longer here, we have a responsibility of engagement towards our nation in which we live.  The Constitution is not just a piece of paper.  It is a legal document providing your freedoms to worship, to work where you want, to raise your family freely.  If the Rapture does not happen and you sit idly by you will get what you earn.
 
The Flag in which we fly in not just a piece of material.  The Flag is represented by the blood of the many lives since our nations inception who gave their lives so that you can live freely.  The Flag represents our nation who has been a beacon of life. liberty and pursuit of happiness and the welcome to all who need our help.
 
Now, I want the Lord to say "well done thou good and faithful servent" for exercising good stewardship of our nation in which we live.  I would not like to be looked on by our Lord in disappointment for not providing care for all He has put in our care.
