PARABLES OF JESUS – Accountable
Luke 16:2b
" ' "Give an account of your stewardship, for you can no longer be steward." ' "
Stewardship and accountability are common themes in the teachings of the Lord Jesus, perhaps because it is such a common failing. We see it all the time: the elected official who misuses his office for personal gain; the financial advisor who steals his clients' money; the preacher who's goal is to build a large congregation so he will have his own kingdom; the TV evangelist who uses the money sent by listeners to buy five mansions around the country. But we are all guilty of misusing the gifts God has entrusted to us – our families, our time and talents, our callings – and using them to satisfy our own worldly pleasures. This is serious business. I am accountable to God, and I will stand before Him to explain how I have used the opportunities He has given to me.
TODAY'S THOUGHT: God will hold every person accountable for the stewardship of resources entrusted to him or her.
Have a faithful day. Love you.
