We are challenged to see our roles, responsibilities, and talents not as entitlements, but as sacred trusts from God. Like the steward in the Gospel, we will one day be called to account for how we used the positions, opportunities, and gifts entrusted to us.

While the steward was praised not for dishonesty, but for his creativity and astuteness in securing his future. Jesus invites us to reflect: Are we as creative and committed in building God’s Kingdom as the world is in building its own?

We are reminded that our talents and positions, whether in ministry, work, or family, are opportunities to serve, sanctify, and bring others closer to Christ. The question is not only whether we are responsible, but also whether we are courageous and creative in making the Gospel alive and attractive in our world today.

Reflection Question: How am I using my gifts and position to serve God faithfully and creatively in my daily life?
