“You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of others, but God knows your hearts."

Luke 16

“You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of others, but God knows your hearts." v15

Jesus in this chapter of Luke is telling the Parable of the Shrewd Manager and his takeaways focus on us being good stewards of this riches God has given us.  We are to use the riches for His glory.  It is OK to enjoy the fruits of our labor but we must focus our hearts on Jesus.

My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are indeed great and You have blessed Lisa and myself beyond what we can imagine.  Our resources are not of our doing but of Yours and Yours alone.  You have entrusted us with much and we have made mistakes with these resources Yet You have continued to bless us.  Thank You for your patience.  Forgive us for our sins with money and help us turn from these sins.  Help us focus our hearts on glorifying You with our money.  Help us love You with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength.
