It’s only with the threat of losing his comfortable lifestyle that the steward realises he has no contingency plan, no future. He knows his limits, so changes his strategies to buy friends and influence people. And with such expertise that the Master has to appreciate how the steward provides for his future.
Knowing that we live in a world of status and achievement it is natural for us to use what we have to make a good life for ourselves but we have to learn that it is not just about what we want. As they say ‘you can’t take it with you’.
We do live in the world but we don’t have to be dictated to by it; we don’t have to be part of the exploitation. In our everyday life we can use what we have, what we know, what we do and we can make change.
We can choose where our time is spent, where our money is spent. We can use the system to question the system. There are so many things you can only change from the inside. Use your gifts and be the change.
