Loyal And Trustworthy Servant
Scripture:
14 Again, heaven’s kingdom realm is like the wealthy man who went on a long journey and summoned all his trusted servants and assigned his financial management over to them. 15 Before he left on his journey, he entrusted a bag of five thousand gold coins to one of his servants, to another a bag of two thousand gold coins, and to the third a bag of one thousand gold coins, each according to his ability to manage. (Matthew 25:14-15 The Passion)
Our Father God, in His wisdom and grace gives to each of His children gifts according to our ability, (tools really) to be used with His help to further the Kingdom of God here on the earth. We then choose to use them. How we do that is up to us. We can use them to do the things God has given us to do, or we can do as the third servant did, and bury them; not use them at all.
Thank You, Lord, for the gifts You have entrusted to me. First, forgive me for the times I have hidden them or not used them well. Then help me to use them wisely when I have the opportunity. You are good and I love You. AMEN
My God, Your nurturing love is tender and gentle. You are slow to get angry yet so swift to show Your faithful love. You are full of abounding grace and truth. Psalm 86
