The parable of the talents was shared twice in the Bible. Why? Why would Jesus share it publicly then in private amongst His people?
Have you ever thought if Jesus was giving out the talents, would you have received a talent, two talents or even three? When Jesus gave out talents, He gave them out on ability, He trusted the three men with his money. The question is often asked, "do you trust them, are they reliable? I believe this was a test, and a change to demonstrate skills and gifts.
We are all given gifts and it is up to us to qualify them. My greatest gift ever given was fatherhood. To be entrusted with His children! At some point, I will have to answer to my King about my effort.
On the flipside, I was given a gift of addiction. That may sound crazy but my battle with it and through it strengthened my talents. It was a specific gift given to me and He provided me the skills to overcome it!
So what talents are you working with? Where are you implementing your skills? I would love to hear all about them and to be able to share on an upcoming episode. Share your results at the #take10movement.
Till next time, keep chasing the vase!
