· Luke 16:1–8
Jesus’ difficult parable notices a manager who finally looks squarely at his situation and acts with urgency. It does not praise dishonesty. It asks whether we bring as much attention to faithful living as people often bring to protecting their own interests. Look at one responsibility you have avoided. Gather the facts, name what belongs to you, and take the next honest step before the problem grows. Practical wisdom can serve love when truth sets its direction.
A question to sit with
What responsibility needs a clear plan rather than another delay?
One small step
Write the next two honest steps and complete the smaller one today.
Pray
God of truth, give me courage to face what I have postponed and wisdom to act with integrity. Amen.
