Jesus says, “The master praised the dishonest steward for his astuteness…,” (Lk 16:8). The steward has been caught for dishonesty.
We all live in a common culture that wealth is good, greed is good and pleasure is good. We are so rooted in our self-centred culture that we find it very hard to move wealth away from us in the other direction.
Like the corrupted steward, people everywhere find it too difficult to tear away from a culture and society that believes in greed. Be grateful to God for what He has given us in this life. Work honestly and be generous with what we have.
God provides the very need of all people but it is a hard thing for us to share with others. God has made us steward of our lives. We are responsible to live a godly life and use God’s creation and resources wisely.
The future of the poor is to put their trust in God. God is our hope – “Praise the Lord, Who lifts up the poor.”
