Jesus often taught by parables…stories that had pointed lessons for those who would listen, really listen. 

  One such parable has many applications for those who will really listen.

(NIV) Luke 19:12-13 “He said: ‘A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return.  13So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas.  ‘Put this money to work,’ he said, ‘until I come back.’”
(The ten servants were given the amount of money that was about the equivalent of one hundred days wages.)

Lesson: God gives each person an opportunity to use what has been given by Him for His glory.

  What has God given you so He will be glorified? 

  When are you going to start working with what has been given you to bring praise to God?

  Where do you need to start today to do what God has already called you to do?

  How are you investing the gift(s) that God has given you that will bring praise and honor to God’s majestic name?
