Luke 16:8-12

8 "Now here's a surprise: The master praised the crooked manager! And why? Because he knew how to look after himself. Streetwise people are smarter in this regard than law-abiding citizens. They are on constant alert, looking for angles, surviving by their wits.

9 I want you to be smart in the same way - but for what is right - using every adversity to stimulate you to creative survival, to concentrate your attention on the bare essentials, so you'll live, really live, and not complacently just get by on good behavior."

10 Jesus went on to make these comments: If you're honest in small things, you'll be honest in big things;

11 If you're a crook in small things, you'll be a crook in big things.

12 If you're not honest in small jobs, who will put you in charge of the store?
