Are you wise and faithful???

 Peter said, “Lord, are you telling this parable for us or for all?” And the Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom his master will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions.(Luke 12:41-44 ESV)
One of Jesus' favorite practices was to answer a question with a question.  In this instance, when He did, Jesus tells Peter, and us, that we need to be ready, like the servant watching and waiting for His master to return.  He promises us here, as elsewhere, that we will be entrusted with more if we are faithful with what He has given.  This is the place of blessing.  But wait, there is the alternative... tormorrow....
