entrusted

God in his divine love and grace decided to entrust something to each of us. For some us, that’s money. For others, it’s children or family, to others it’s a big important job, and to some it’s directing traffic or serving food or helping with things at church.

But for all of us, Christ has entrusted us with LIFE. This is a concept that’s so hard for us to acknowledge sometimes because we’ve grown so used to the fact that we deserve, and are entitled perhaps, to the life we live and the things we have.

Last Sunday Pastor shared with the church the story of the master entrusting to his servants the talents, or money. Our first reaction is to see this Bible story from the perspective of “tithing” our money, but it goes so much further than that. The Master entrusted to each of his servants something DIFFERENT and yet considered their efforts JUST as important as the others.

The important thing to remember is that the servant who just took what he was given stewardship over and just buried it in the ground until the master returned, was called “WORTHLESS and LAZY.”

God gives generously to those who love him. The meek will inherit the earth. And all of creation groans to give God his glory.

So whether in your job or your family or your participation in church activities or ministries…. are you being a good steward of what God’s entrusted to you?
