ENGAGE YOUR TALENTS!

The master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’ Matthew 25:21

The Parable of the Talents tells of a master who was preparing for a journey, and before he traveled, he called his three servants and entrusted his property into their hands. He gave unto each man according to their ability, one of them got five talents; the second also received two while the third servant got only one. The master entrusted property worth eight talents, perhaps, one talent worth 1 million USD at this present age.

On his arrival, after a long absence, the master inquires of his three servants on how they utilized the talents he gave unto them. The first and second servants analyzed how they each put their talents to work, and through that, they had gotten a doubled value from the talent which they were entrusted. Both servants were rewarded and celebrated accordingly.

“A king delights in a wise servant, but his anger falls on the shameful.” Proverbs 14:35

However, the last servant came and started abusing his master. But his master answered, saying, “evil and lazy servant! So you know that I do harvest where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter? Why did you accept my offer at first, despite that, you could have deposited my money with the bankers, and on my return, I would have received my money back with interest!”

I think we can all agree that God is pleased with our talents, and he wants us to be good stewards of them. We are not only gifted with them but also give the ability to use them for good. Do not hide your talent. The lazy people say, “There is a lion in the road! A fierce lion is in the streets!” Proverbs 26:13

Prayers:
1. Thank you, Lord, for the gift you deposited in me.
2. Lord, please help me to stay focused and explore my God-giving talents, capabilities, and potentials in Jesus’ name.
