Wise Investment- Matthew 25:14-30

My four year old is amazing at Mario Brothers on the Wii. My parents got us the Wii for Christmas. We thought it would be something Evan could grow into. My husband loved playing video games when he was growing up and was excited to have Evan play with him some day. We did not expect that he would be so good this soon.

As a mother my mind is already seeing ways that God has gifted Evan, and I am praying about how I can help him use his gifts for God’s glory. I’m not saying that God will use the Wii directly, but I can see that my son is wired in a certain way and I believe God did that intentionally. He wired us all for a specific purpose, with specific gifts or talents if you will.

Our scripture passage today talks about a man who left his servants with money to take care of while he went on a journey. The master is pleased when two of the servants were able to double their portion of the money, but was disappointed when the third servant allowed fear to stop him from doing anything with what had been entrusted to him.

God has left us with the task of telling others about him until he returns. We do that through the special gifts we each have. Ask him today to show you where he would like you to invest your gifts for him.
