The Talents

Day 22.   Of the Happy and Unhappy Servant.   Blessed are those servants who give up all their goods to the Lord God, for those who retain anything for themselves hide “(their) Lord’s money,” (See Matt 25 18) and that “which they think they, have shall be taken away from them.” (See Luke 8 18.)

Surrender ourselves to the Lord, keep nothing back and God can work wonders through us. Hiding our torch under the bed does no one any good, and indeed may bring harm to both to ourselves and others.   Matthew 25:18 But the man who had received the one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.   Luke 8:18 Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken from him.”
