“Because the people of the world are more astute in handling their affairs than the people who belong to the light.” Luke 16:8

We see it many times in the soap operas. The villain invents a great deal of lies to get what they want, while the good person becomes a victim because he or she could not come up with anything that was not transparent or honest. Is Jesus saying we need to be more conniving or manipulative? Of course not. What he is saying is that we need to use all the means that are within our reach creatively and for the good of others.

Do you seek the means within your reach to help those near you? Do you try to be creative in seeking solutions for the welfare and service of others?
