Today reading is a reminder that money is part of how we show our faithfulness to God. It is not God, nor is it the most important thing in life.
What do we do with our anxiety?
God bless,
Sam
Luke 16:10-18
10“Whoever is faithful in a very little is
faithful also in much; and whoever is dishonest in a very little is dishonest
also in much. 11If then you have not been faithful with the
dishonest wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? 12And if
you have not been faithful with what belongs to another, who will give you what
is your own? 13No slave can serve two masters; for a slave will
either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and despise
the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.”
14The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard
all this, and they ridiculed him. 15So he said to them, “You are
those who justify yourselves in the sight of others; but God knows your hearts;
for what is prized by human beings is an abomination in the sight of God. 16“The
law and the prophets were in effect until John came; since then the good news
of the kingdom of God is proclaimed, and everyone tries to enter it by force. 17But
it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one stroke of a letter
in the law to be dropped. 18“Anyone who divorces his wife and
marries another commits adultery, and whoever marries a woman divorced from her
husband commits adultery.
