“Come And Share

Your Masters Happiness”

“Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them. To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey. The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more. So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more. But the man who had received one bag went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.

“After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them. The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more.’

“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’

Matthew 25:14-21

We may not always be physically able to help out at the church. But we can be powerful prayer warriors. We can be faithful, “behind the scenes.”

The parable of the talents reminds us that we must use the “talents” God has given us wisely.

It is not only in our years of strength that God will use us, but also in our youth and age, as well as in our sickness and weakness. We honor God by using our skills for the glory of God.

God can use you at any age – if you are willing.
