Today's Devotion: Luke 16:10 (New International Version) - Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. The parable of the shrewd manager provides the context for this statement. We are God's stewards, and if we properly carry out our stewardship, we must be as honest in the small things as we are in the big things.
Today's Comments: Interestingly enough, today's economy illustrates the example provided by the parable of the shrewd manager. What started out as a situation in which a few people decided to bend the rules of prudence and honesty resulted in the breakdown of our economic and banking system. The breakdown was progressive, probably starting with a few people bending the rules and then grew as greed set in and as they and others sought to bend the rules further. What we sowed became that which we reaped.
