**Genesis 29:7** — *"Look," said Jacob, "it is still broad daylight; it is not yet time to gather the livestock. Water the sheep and take them back to pasture."*
Jacob arrives at a well surrounded by idle shepherds, flocks waiting, and a stone unmoved. He does not accept the drift of the crowd. He reads the hour, names what remains undone, and calls others back to their post.
This is the steward's instinct — not urgency for urgency's sake, but a clear-eyed reckoning with what the day still holds. Daylight is a covenant gift. Squandered hours are not neutral; they belong to someone else's hunger.
The sheep still need water. The pasture still waits.
Consider the moments today when you sensed the hour was not yet spent — and whether you moved toward the work, or waited for someone else to roll the stone away.
