Instead of investing it wisely, the servant entrusted with the one talent tried to reason with his master. It didn’t work, and all he had was taken from him. OUCH!
One of the truths we learn growing up is: results count, excuses don’t. No matter what we’re doing – school, work, sports, etc – end results are what hold value. Life’s troubles, heartaches, and circumstances may intervene, but results are still expected. This is true of our walk with God also. And we need to be fully aware that God will NOT accept any ‘reasons’ or excuses for our disobedience and failure. It’s true we will probably fail in some ventures for God, but it should NEVER be for lack of effort or trying. If God is willing to supply all we need, then we’re left without a reason why we can’t have results.
Until Monday…
