Invest your resources wisely, knowing that they are entrusted to you by God and that you will be held accountable for how you use them.

And finally, let’s turn our attention to verses 26-27.
“You can make clothing from the wool of your sheep and sell it for a profit. You can purchase a field with the earnings from your crops. You might plant the field with rows of olive trees and never stop to gather the fruit from them or even taste the olives, but they will be there for the buyer.”
