A small piece of paperis blowing along the street in the wind.With the heart of a volunteer,you pick it up to throw it into the trash.But as you glance at it more carefully,you realize-it is a lottery ticket.“Just in case,”you slip it into your pocket.On the day of the drawing,you happen to watch the numbers on TV.One by one, the numbers begin to match.Your hands begin to tremble.You rub your eyes and check again.It is certain.First prize-two billion won.   What would you doif such a fortune suddenly became yours?Perhaps you imagine something simple.First, give a titheand an offering of thanksgiving to God.Then purchase a luxury apartmentthat appeared on the market at a bargain price.Fill it with beautiful imported furniture.Invite relatives from near and farand host a grand housewarming feast,a celebration so abundantthat the table could hardly hold the food.Would you feel as thoughyou were riding on the clouds,flying high above the world?   But then, one day,an investigation beginsinto the source of the money.Excuses are made.Stories are invented.But eventually the truth comes out.Legal charges.Confiscation.Fines, prison, shame, hardship-and ruin.And the offering once given to Godin the excitement of a “blessing”-would the church return it?   If the ticket had been reportedto the proper authorities,and if no owner appeared after some time,a significant portion of the moneymight legally have become yours.Even if the owner had appeared,you might still have receiveda lawful reward.   When we compare such moneyto what we already possess,two billion won is actually small.Health. Time. Wisdom. Knowledge. Talents. Above all, life itself—something that cannot be purchasedeven with unimaginable wealth.   God has already entrusted uswith treasures far greater than money.The question is not ‘what we have received.’The question is ‘how we are using it.’Have we ever consideredthe responsibility that comes with such gifts?Everything we possessis not truly ours. It has been given.   Has anyone ever been bornwearing even a single garment?Suppose someone offered youten trillion wonand asked you to present a planfor how you would use it well.   What kind of project could you propose?Yet God has already placed in our hands talents worth far more than that.How will we use them?Will we spend our livesin comfort and luxury alone?Or will we live faithfullywith what has been entrusted to us?   Jesus reminds us:“Well done, good and faithful servant.You have been faithful over a little;I will set you over much.Enter into the joy of your master.”(Matthew 25)But the servant who was wicked,lazy, and unfaithful was cast into the outer darkness.   Perhaps it is time to rewrite the plan of our lives.And this time, let the account be clear.
