And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of the unrighteous money so that when it fails, they may welcome you into eternal dwellings.
Luke 16:9
Here we must establish what Jesus is saying, and what He is not saying. He is not saying that we should do the same thing that the bad manager did. What he is saying is that we should be wise, and generous, in the use of our monetary resources. Money is a tool that can be used to bring blessing to the lives of others.
Notice here that Jesus says ‘when’ it fails. Money will ultimately fail. You can’t take it with you. What you can take with you is what you have chosen to do with it.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your generosity with Your creation. You have given us all things richly to enjoy. Your magnanimity and beneficence are absolutely overwhelming! To live by Your mercy and grace is the greatest joy we can know. Thank you! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
