"What Shall I Do?"

Luke 16:1 - 13

"So the master commended the unjust steward because he had dealt shrewdly. For the sons of this world are more shrewd in their generation than the sons of light."
Luke 16:8

Throughout history gold and silver has been highly sought after and consider precious by man. In fact, gold standards have been the most common basis for monetary policies. The parable of the unjust steward in Luke 16 reveals to us that money is a tool to be used for the furtherance of God's purposes and glory. Jesus explains in verses 10 - 13 that money is the least and that the souls of men are true riches . God considers the souls of men as gold and silver. Shouldn't our goal then be to shrewdly seek these true riches and use whatever unrighteous mammon we have been given to achieve it? A believer is promised eternal life; are you planning your finances accordingly for this future? "Make friends for yourself with unrighteous mammon, that when you fail, they may receive you into an everlasting home." Luke 16:9 Maybe you will hear when you enter your everlasting home "you gave, I heard the gospel and I believed" as a part of your welcome. Oh Lord, grant it. We have two choices, as verse 13 points out, we can be a servant of God or a servant of money. We can further God's Kingdom or we can further ourselves. How incredible that we have been given the privilege to plan, strategize, and leverage like the unjust steward but for God's kingdom.
