Am I As Clever As An Unbeliever?
Luke 16:8 So the master commended the unjust steward because he had dealt cleverly. For the sons of this world are more clever in their generation than the sons of light.
A very interesting twist to this parable by Jesus. The master commended the once wasteful manager on his present dealings to secure his future. We cant take back the past ya'll but we can live now for the future. Jesus said that the way unbelievers are with their worldly drives for earthly riches now, they are more clever than believers are toward their eternal destination and rewards. Believers tend to not do well in the natural realm, for obvious reasons of new life, but neglecting their priorities of their destination of heaven.
We are not to sit on the fence. Either be cold or hot for Jesus! Lukewarm Christians Jesus will vomit out, its gross! Are you all in? Have you given all your time, talent, & treasure to God? Are you living at least, more clever than unregenerate men who live for today, but become very successful in this life? Our success will be gauged in heaven and what we have used now to advance heavens kingdom. My talent may not be much now but if I don't give it to the LORD, it will mean nothing later!
Play the long game folks! In football, you must play all four quarters! You lose some plays but overall you hope to win the game. Take advantage of every opportunity given to you. Live your life in such a way that Jesus gets the glory for all.
