Instead they run around like they own the place, and lose everything.
So often we do the same. Instead of acting as good tenants of our vineyard (this world God has given us to care for) we run around like we own the place. Not so good, not smart at all. There will come a day of reckoning.
So: act as good tenants of this world and we will merit our share of God’s safety and prosperity into eternity. Do otherwise and we lose everything – now and forever.

It helps us to take stock of what we are, have and do..and reminds us to be grateful always and that we not only live for ourselves…but also for others. Let us also not forget that without God, we are nothing!
