Scripture: Jn 16:1-16
“Streetwise people are smarter in this regard than law-abiding citizens. They are on constant alert, looking for angles, surviving by their wits. I want you to be smart in the same way—but for what is right—using every adversity to stimulate you to creative survival, to concentrate your attention on the bare essentials, so you’ll live, really live, and not complacently just get by on good behavior.”
Observation: “Jesus told this Parable of the Unjust Manager to teach that His disciples must use their wealth for kingdom purposes. ”
Application: If our goal is to win the world with Jesus, we should be on the look out for creative ways to do so. Not malicious ways such as the shrewd manager, but ways that will grab people’s attention. Putting to use your talents, your interest, you material possessions, in order to get people onto the right path. God didn’t give us these things for us to sqander but for us to use to serve others and to point them to God.
Prayer: God let my hearts cry be that I could use my talents and abilities always for your kingdom. Also lead me in a path not of manipulation but love unlike the manager you told. Thank you YHWH for your gifts, let me use them well.
