Shrewd as Light

“…for the sons of this age are more shrewd in relation to their own kind than the sons of light.” (Luke 16:8)

            We are wildly creative when it comes to getting what we want.  When you want to get your coworker to take your shift, suddenly you become a fantastic negotiator.  When it comes to getting what we want, even the drug addict finds a way to get their next hit.  People are creative when it comes to this life – we know how to get that raise, haggle that car price down, argue our case with family and friends, or find the pathway to chase our dreams.  We know how to be shrewd when we need to be.

            Yet, when it comes to spiritual things, we often give up too easily.  We don’t translate that shrewdness to evangelism, or personal growth, or storing treasures in heaven.  We find excuses instead of solutions.

            Don’t accept that sort of behavior from yourself.  Be creative, be savvy, and be intentional about your life as a child of light.  Your soul depends on it.

Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
