Multiply your talents!
Posted by Lev/Christopher on September 29, 2009 at 2:57am in Inspirations / Devotionals
Matthew 25:26-29 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
Reading this parable, we are struck by the serious consequences of failing to produce Kingdom fruit. But there's something I want to particularly point out. Many of the great heroes of the faith – people like Moses and David, were not given great responsibilities immediately. Each of these men first served as a lowly shepherd, tending sheep. Having tested them first in this humble vocation, Yahweh then felt confident to elevate them to positions of greatness – but it all started with a small step!
Yahweh is testing his saints in the little things – as we pass our early tests, the Master will promote us to greater things. Don’t despise the day of small things – a single talent invested wisely can produce a bountiful harvest! And remember that it begins with faithful stewardship of whatever gift or talent that Yahweh has allocated to you.
Let's be wise stewards in these last days, using our divinely given abilities for His glory and purposes so that we can produce an abundant return on Yahweh's investment in our lives. Let’s heed the warning and the encouragement that Yah'shua (Jesus) gives us in this parable, multiplying, rather than hiding our talent. Amen!
