Matthew 25:28, “Therefore take the talent from him, and give it to him who
has ten talents.”
Each believer has talents, given by God, that we are to use for His glory. We can’t claim that we have no gifts or that we have been given no opportunity. The fact is, what we do with what we have will be the basis of our judgment. I won’t be judged on my inability to sing or play the piano, but I will have to give an account of the gifts that I have.
If we don’t use our talent for God, we will lose it. It doesn’t remain dormant. It won’t remain hidden. We will end up not having the opportunity we had at the beginning. On the other hand, if we are faithful in the use of our abilities, God will multiply our opportunities for service. The way to grow in influence and service is to use what we already have—then the Lord will reward us with more opportunity.
Remember, someday we will have to give an account at the judgment seat of Christ. As Christians, we won’t be judged for our sins—they have already been forgiven. But we will be judged for the stewardship of those things God has given us. We’ll be judged on quality, not quantity. We have been given incredible potential for serving God. How are we putting ours to use?
