"And unto one he gave five talents, to another two,and to another one,to
every man according to his several ability... And I was afraid,and went
hid thy talent in the earth: and lo there thou hast that is thine. And
cast Ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be
weeping and gnashing of teeth".(Matthew 25 vs 15,25,30). That is the
Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional Today.
Today's Focal Scripture reveals that the Master who had three servants
distributed talents to his servants according to their abilities. That
implies that the servant who got five talents had the highest
abilities,while the servant who got one had the least abilities. So, the
least rated servant was the one who engaged in the misadventure of
hiding his talent. The most deficient servant was the one who failed his
servant.
A close observation of this servant's(the one with the one talent)
slothfulness and his unwarranted excuse for not trading with his talent
gives us an idea about his personality. This obviously could have been
the reason why his ability was weak and low rated.
Friend, hear this, Every deficiency that decreases you has the potential
of totally destroying your destiny. Every deficiency in your character
has the ability to stifle your growth and elevation.
If you are deficient in your career,just know that it could keep you at a
spot longer than necessary;If there are malpractices you are engaged in
as an entrepreneur,it could stifle your enterprise. If there are
weaknesses you have as a spouse or as a parent,it could destroy your
marriage or your children etc.
The servant had the least abilities,got the least talent;finally his
destiny ended abruptly. The same thing that made his ability
weak,eventually destroyed him.
Pray with me,"Lord,help me to discard every character flaw that wants to
diminish my ability and eventually destroy me in Jesus name".
Have an Awesome Tuesday!
