Two different times in the New Testament parables are told about servants receiving money entrusted to them by their masters.
The story is about the master being away and what they are going to do with the money till he returns.
If you haven’t caught on yet; you and I are the servants that have been given the responsibility to look after the Master’s affairs till He returns.
How are you doing with His money? Or in our case, His kingdom.
He judges each of us in our ability, never giving too much to someone who can’t handle it; but never shorting someone who is capable of much more.
The thing is, He doesn’t tell us what His expectations of us are, He just wants us to do our best.
It’s really up to us to do what God has given us the talent for.
So, what are you and I doing with what God has given us? Are you multiplying it? Or, are you at least investing it to earn interest? Or, have you buried it because you are afraid you will lose it or you don’t actually have the talent the Master has said you have?
Today, if you have buried it, dig it up, dust it off and begin to use the Lord’s gift so you can have something to present when He returns.
