Luk 16:1 And he said also unto his disciples, There
was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him
that he had wasted his goods.
Luk 16:2 And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.
Luk 16:3 Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.
Luk 16:4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
Luk 16:5 So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?
Luk 16:6 And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
Luk 16:7 Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.
Luk 16:8 And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.
Luk 16:9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.
Luk 16:10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
Luk 16:11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
Luk 16:12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?
Luk 16:2 And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.

Luk 16:12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?
Who is this unjust steward? He could be you or me. We are to
be stewards of what God has given to us. The LORD refers to the unjust steward
who was a worldly man, as smarter than the children of light. Why was he
smarter? What was the difference between the unjust steward who did the right
thing and those of the kingdom of light? The unjust steward was looking out for
himself, building relationships and friends with the masters money. Let's think
about this. Are we seeking our own good? Or the good of others? Be honest and
think about this. We all want our needs met, but who will we trust? Be wise, but
not as a worldly man with selfish reasons. Be a giver as led by the Holy Spirit.
Be as a faithful child of God.
Luk 16:11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in
the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
Hearing the news, 80% of the doctor's are considering retiring if
Obama care stays in place. We will have to trust in the LORD. No more borrowing
money from China,would mean fewer government entitlements. The true riches are a
closer walk with God. It is all the LORD's riches that we have. Being found
under his wings, trusting in him. Trust in the LORD. Follow him, do not fear
what is coming. Share and be wise, as children of light in a sin darkened world.
You have the mind of Christ? If so, do not run in panic with those of the world.
Be good stewards of what the LORD has given to you. Share the true riches of the
Kingdom of God and God will be your help and your shield.
Luk 2:49 ... wist ye not that I must be
about my Father's business?
