PARABLES OF JESUS – Use It Or Lose It
Matthew 25:26-29
" 'But his lord answered and said to him, "You wicked and lazy servant .... You ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest. Therefore take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents." ' "
It takes some purposeful effort on my part to invest the talent God has given me so His kingdom will be increased. Laziness is not a reasonable excuse. To fritter away God's gifts in my life because it may be difficult or require some work will result in poverty. The Proverb says, "Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways and be wise" (Proverbs 6:6). As the old saying goes, "Use it or lose it."
TODAY'S THOUGHT: The effort expended investing God's talent in God's work will be rewarded.
Have an invested day. Love you.
