Shrewd Management.

Count your blessings…then, are you managing them wisely?

Luke 16:1-4
The Parable of the Shrewd Manager
1 Jesus told his disciples: “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions. 2 So he called him in and asked him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your management, because you cannot be manager any longer.’

3 “The manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do now? My master is taking away my job. I’m not strong enough to dig, and I’m ashamed to beg— 4 I know what I’ll do so that, when I lose my job here, people will welcome me into their houses.’

Be wise with what you have been given here on Earth. All belong to the Father in Heaven. All belongs to God, meant to provide you with opportunities to glorify Him.

What a way to look at your possessions and your job. Jesus was talking at a particular group of people, and this must have really hurt the Pharisees. Jesus has such a perfect way of showing us how to love.

Our salvation is sovereign and can never be taken away. But, to be able to combine your salvation with the human experience is very challenging. Jesus knew how, and he left us a helper. In order to be able to hear the Holy Spirit,  you must meditate, worship, and pray. Every day. That way you are ready to discern through the power of the Jesus.
Amen.
