Psalms: Psalm 145: 2-5,10-11
I will bless thy name for ever, O God my king.
Every day I will bless thee, and want to glorify thy name for ever and ever.

Everything that you make will praise thee, O Lord, and the people you love will give you praise. They will announce the glory of thy kingdom, and will talk about your strength,

Gospel: Luke 16: 9-15
Jesus said unto Tie friendship by using dishonest Mammon, so if Mammon can not help anymore, you are accepted in the tent forever. "" Whoever-faithful in a small matter, he is faithful also in great things. And whoever is not true in the case of small-case, it is not true also in great things. So, if you have not been faithful in the dishonest Mammon, who will entrust the true riches?
And if you are not faithful in someone else's property, who will hand over their own wealth to you? A servant can not serve two masters. Because if so he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You can not serve both God and money. "
Everything was heard by the Pharisees, the servants of the money, and they ridiculed him. Then he said to them: "You justify themselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is admired man, hated by God.
Thus the Gospel of the Lord.

Afterthought
God created planting plants that produce fruit, can bear fruit through the roots, stems and so forth. Thus the growth takes place.
Man was created to develop in the universe, humans maintain, develop and use in order to better their lives, thus, humanity bear responsibility for all creation. God gave us the sense to recognize and maintain the truth. God gave us the heart to
love that is spiritual, so we know that the divine and to the divine life.
However, what happens? There is a phrase that says: "Everything is good when out of the hands of God, everything is starting to damage when it comes to human hands" This expression needs to be a reflection of where we are called to be fruitful, not destructive.
Upbringing led to faith and service loyalty, evident in the experience of the Apostle Paul. Priscilla and Aquila, and another name is referred to as Paul's faithful colleagues in building the faith of the church. They not only sacrificing power, but give yourself and as a co-worker of Paul. Knowledge of the Lord to make them willing and able to do many things with sincerity. This is the fruit of friendship and knowledge of God.
What about friendship than from God? There is a saying: "There yams, taro there, there is no reply of gratitude," Friendship is thus not bad, it is something that is fair, just backfire for us when faced with a clear and decisive choice. He was one of them or one of them in life?
Gospel does not provide an option that makes us doubt or situation that positions attitude awry. Above we've been reminded that all that is good in this world when out of the hands of God, but it starts to break down when in the hands of man, why become damaged and often life before the selection dilemma?

Items to contemplation.
Let us bear in mind together. Good if handled those well-intentioned, would be both adanya.Tetapi, if handled people who intend not good, will dilemma becomes. Therefore be steadfast and always have good intentions. Hopefully, the situation is bad and tempting not drop us.

Prayer.
O God, you give us the ability to work and serve. Teach us to appreciate the simple things in life and faithful. Amen.
