STORY #2: I’m going to be fired
These days when a corporate firing takes place, it’s abrupt. No warning. A security guard escorts you to your desk, watches as you clean it out, takes your keys, and escorts you to the parking lot. There’s a reason for that seeming coldness. A disgruntled employee can do an incredible amount of damage, either by sabotage or theft, to a company’s business.
In Jesus’ parable, the wealthy business owner made a critical mistake. He tipped off the manager before taking away his authority within the business office.
“‘You cannot be manager any longer.’ The manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do now? My master is taking away my job. I’m not strong enough to dig, and I’m ashamed to beg’” (Luke 16:2,3).
The first thing the manager did well was to take the threat very seriously. He knew that time was very short, and he acted accordingly. He racked his brain to come up with a plan to use his resources quickly while he still had them.
Are you alert to the shortness of your time?
