Then the manager said to himself, ‘What should I do, since my master is taking the management away from me? I’m not strong enough to dig; I’m ashamed to beg.’
Luke 16:3 CSB
Though a bad manager, this man was not unintelligent. This serves to show that his inability to manage correctly was due to negligence. Going through his options carefully he eliminated some basic options quickly. He should have applied such studiousness to his job to begin with.
Heavenly Father, thank You for always being at work! We are lazy and ineffective. But You are always active and powerful. Thank You for Your activity and the blessings it causes in our lives. You are truly amazing and incredibly awesome! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
