Did this person act justly or unjustly in his or her given situation? Explain. c. What point do you think the Bible is trying to make with these verses? 3. Research the word oikonomia, a Greek word in the New Testament. What does it mean? 4. After this reading and research, how would you describe the work of a steward? Whose "property" is a steward handling? 5. Psalms 24:1-2 states, "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in the world, and all who live in it; for He founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters." Do these verses and the verses above affect how you think of your job as a good steward? How? 6. Close in prayer: Lord, thank You for all that You have provided in this wonderful garden home called earth. Help me to remember that You have given me food, shelter, a means to make a living, and so much more. Show me how to be the best steward of all that You have provided me at home, at church, and at work. Amen. 1. In your Bible, read Genesis 39:4-6 and Luke 16:1-13. 2.
