Today's readings are Numbers 9.1-23 ( http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=Num.+9.1-23 ) and Luke 16.1-18 ( http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=Luke+16.1-18 ).
The parable of the "unjust manager" is our reading in Luke today. While this is a difficult parable, as it is a little unclear about whether the manager was dishonest, shrewd, opportunistic, or possibly pleased his master by managing to settle accounts that needed settling before they were uncollectible, we do know that the manager, who is praised by his master, takes action which apparently ends up fitting in with what his master desired.
We who know the Scripture, who have the Holy Spirit working in us, ought to busy ourselves about obedience to the character and desires of our heavenly master. Let us pray for wisdom in how to approach God's work, which he has given us to do with all our days.
