When we are confronted with the question of whether we value our own safety more or less than the well being of the creatures that, as a god, we are responsible for... what do we pick?

If you ask me, a god who values themselves more than they value the creatures that they are supposed to look after is a failed god. They are less than useless, they are in fact actively dangerous to have around.
This might be something that applies to other gods in the Morbit setting, I don't really know, but we have the ability here (and responsibility) to make it not apply to us.

If we win by proving that we value personal power and survival more than we value our responsibility to improve the quality of life for our charges, then what we have achieved by becoming a god is the creation of a monster.

I agree, but I'd like to add that it's not necessarily that simple. There may be a time when we have to make a compromise between the well being of our creations and our own continued existence. Sacrificing ourselves might hurt our creations in the long run, for example.

What's important is that we think things through and make sure we know what we're doing. Even when following the advice of other gods, we must be careful, for they might not fully understand just how clueless we are. Summoning a god-killing knife or making a zone of tranquility or teaching too much at once might just be the type of thing most gods know is obviously a bad idea, and they don't even think to tell the newbies not to do it.
