ENGAGE YOUR TALENTS! 2

“I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours.” Matthew 25:25

The wise men say, ‘if you don’t know how to use your talents, then it’s not worth wasting or burying them. We should always remember that God has given everyone gifts, and we should never waste them. Though some people are more gifted than others, I think that is true. However, that does not make yours useless or worthless.

Though the parable of talents in Matthew 25 is very significant, but it is disturbing for those who do not understand how talent works. However, the passage emphasizes on their abilities. Everyone on earth has at least one or more talents inside them. The only thing that separates successful and unsuccessful people from each other is the ability to recognize their talents and use them to their advantage.

“He who works his land will have plenty of food, but whoever chases fantasies lacks judgment.” Proverbs 12:11

Do not use another person’s measure of success as your criteria. You have got to stand up and take to your position so that you can harness that hidden potential gifted in you by God. The foolish servant must have worked together with other servants with contempt, and this must have shadowed his thinking to the extent that he buried and neglected his talents under the ground. Oh! What a pity. “Those who work their land will have plenty of food, but whoever chases fantasies will be filled with poverty.” Proverbs 28:19.

Prayer:
1. I am grateful for all the blessings in my life.
2. God give me the strength to overcome any obstacle that may come around my talent.
3. God grant me the courage to pursue my dreams in Jesus’ name. Amen.
