Day 1 – Understanding Shrewdness
Scripture: “The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly.” – Luke 16:8a
Reflection:
Shrewdness is the ability to understand how things work and to leverage that knowledge at the right time. The dishonest manager wasn’t praised for his dishonesty but for his skill in thinking ahead. Jesus points out that the people of this world are often more shrewd in dealing with life than the children of light. Too often, Christians lack this skill because we confuse shrewdness with sin. But shrewdness itself is not evil—it depends on how and why it is used.
Application/Challenge:
Take five minutes today to reflect on areas of your life—work, finances, family, relationships. Where could you exercise godly shrewdness to honor Christ?
Prayer:
Lord, give me discernment to see situations clearly and to act wisely. Help me to grow in the skill of shrewdness, not for selfish gain but for Your kingdom. Amen.
