In Luke 12 Jesus addresses some challenges to faithful stewardship. He gives the example of a man facing a natural dilemma thanks to the providential kindness of God. His solution seems wise initially, however, self-serving motives are soon revealed. Jesus gives this stark warning, "You fool... this is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but is not rich toward God," (Luke 12:20-21).
