Gen 47, 48; Ps. 10; Luke 19
Scripture: “The king answered, ‘It’s my responsibility to see that I get the best returns from my investments. Those who make good use of what I give them will be given even more. And those who do nothing with what I give them will lose what they have, and it will be given to those who know how to use it. As for those who didn’t want me to be their king, bring them in. The law of the land demands that they be put to death for their rebellion in the sight of the king.’ ” Luke 19: 26, 27
Observation: It’s God’s responsibility to see He gets the best return that He invests in human beings. By this investment He gives us talents or gifts, which we use to bring others to believe and have faith in Him. If we misuse our talents or gifts then He will give them to another. For those who never come to believe or have faith in Him the law demands their death.
Application: People need to try and find out what their gifts are and use those gifts wisely. Not everyone’s gift is a big one. It may be something as small as talking to little children about Jesus, your own children for example. Be prayerful about this and Jesus will guide you to as little or as much of a gift He thinks you will need. But remember never stop believing and having faith in Him because when you do you have as good as signed your own death warrant.
Prayer: Dear Lord help me to see what gifts I have that would glorify your name. Help me not to be afraid to use those gifts wisely. Amen
