On the day President Trump was elected, the Lord interrupted me with a startling question: “If you knew you only had four years to do business freely, what would you put in place now?”
From that interruption came an important understanding of what it means to be wise in times of adversity and sudden change.
Last December, the Lord said it was time again to share this message. In Luke 16 is the story of the shrewd manager. Jesus said the manager, a son of darkness, was shrewder in his generation than the sons of light. Why? How?
This is what I want to share with you in the next two special episodes titled “Shrewd“ on the Move Forward with Dr Kim Maas podcast. We are in a time of unprecedented change. It is not time to be afraid. It is a time to be shrewd. Shrewdness is the ability to see what is, look ahead at what will be, and step into opportunity to gain favor, prosper and advance the kingdom of God.
Shrewd––it’s how Joseph fed his family and the nations during a global famine while personally prospering.
Shrewd––it’s how Esther, an orphan girl, gained influence, overcame wicked political opposition and saved her people.
Shrewd––it is what Jesus expects of all those who follow Him, saying, “Look, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves” (Matt. 10:16).
There is no time to fear; it is a time to be shrewd! Join me Tuesday, March 31, for Part I of “Shrewd” on Move Forward with Dr. Kim Maas and find wisdom and understanding for our time.
