Everyone has been given something. It might be time, talent, money, or love and it looks different and comes in different amounts for everyone. But we all have something that was given to us. In the same way, everyone has a choice with how to use their gifts.  

The three servants in Matthew 25 were all given different amounts of money and each chose a different way to use it. One servant invested his large amount because he was eager to please the master. The second servant worked with his amount because he also wanted to bless others. The third servant buried his small amount it in the dirt because he was too afraid to lose it. When the master returned, he blessed the servants that invested and worked because they produced more, but the last servant who made the safest choice faced destruction because he did nothing. 

Like the servants, we as Christians, will someday stand before God as our master and give an account for how we used what we have been given. You get to choose if you want to be like the first two servants and produce more to bless others, or if you want to play it safe like the last servant. 

Reflect: 

In what areas are you more willing to invest and work? 

In what areas do you “play it safe”? Why?
