In the parable of the talents
the master had to go on a journey and he had to entrust the talents to his servants.
To one he gave five talents,
To another he gave two talents and to the third he gave one talent.
The first two multiplied the gifts in their hands,
they didn’t waste what they had received from God and they committed themselves despite the risks.
The last one buried his talent because he thought the master was mean,
he found excuses not to perform.
This morning the Lord is exhorting us to be diligent.
He gives us advice, he encourages us to be prompt,
to speed,
to carry out a task.
A diligent person is courageous, meticulous, conscientious,
diligent.
Let’s be responsible and serious about what we do.
Let us work with vision and discipline.
If we don’t manage the little things the Lord entrusts to us, he will find it hard to entrust us with bigger things.
Joseph had been sold by his brothers,
so he was a slave in Potiphar’s house, but the scriptures tell us that everything he did prospered.
We can conclude that he was diligent.
The tasks entrusted to him were done carefully and conscientiously. That’s why Potiphar entrusted him with the management of his house.
Diligent people make sacrifices,
they pay the price.
And that’s what God wants us to do.
Proverbs, 14:23 – All work brings abundance, But idle talk leads only to scarcity.
Pray to work diligently.
Whatever we undertake
we can prosper if we are persistent,
if we apply ourselves, if we are rigorous, but if we are people who build with words more than they achieve, then poverty can surprise us.
Let’s get up and roll up our sleeves.
The Lord is our strength,
let’s put our trust in him.
Good day to you all
Good day to you
