Life is loaded with circumstances, however the unavoidable issue is our main event with them. Do we let them sneak past, saying, "Possibly next time. There is constantly one more day"? Or on the other hand, do we seize them? We might not have as much time as we think. Ask God to assist you with spending them as you should.
Psalm 90:12 reminds us,
"Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom."
Ephesians 5:15 says,
"Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise"
Jesus recounted the account of a man who went on an excursion and left his money with his servants. This was normal back then. A rich man or a ruler would have numerous servants in his household, from the individuals who performed fundamental work to the individuals who dealt with the monetary issues of his household, even his business. Sometimes a portion of the man's servants would be more instructed and talented than he was.
At the point when the owner would go on a trip, he would leave full authority in the hands of these key servants.
So Jesus portrayed a situation in which a rich man went on an adventure and left the key servants accountable for his belongings, what will be the outcome of his belongings in the hands of his servants.
What Are You Investing Your Days and Time In?
What is Jesus' story saying to us? I believe it's very self-evident. Jesus represents that rich man who goes on a trip, which is the day he exited this world to the day he returns in the Second Coming. We are the servants he has put his resources into, and we are to take what he has given us and utilize it for his glory while we anticipate his arrival.
In the New Testament a word that is frequently utilized for "slave" or "servant" is the Greek word doulos. It's a term that depicts an extraordinary class of worker, not somebody who was made that path by force or compel. A doulos was somebody who had been liberated by their lord yet still served out of love. The worker was so grateful for this exonerate he or she would adamantly serve.
The messenger Paul frequently referred to himself as a doulos, and that is the thing that we are as servants of Jesus Christ. Christ has paid a huge debt for us. He has exonerated us. He has forgiven us. What's more, now we ought to wind up his willful servants, not on grounds that we need to but rather in light of the fact that we want to – for the fact that we love him. We perceive that he has imparted certain things in our lives that we are to use for his glory. Certain gifts. Certain talents. Certain assets. Everything.
Paul says,
"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;
20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies."
1 Corinthians 6:19– 20
Jesus stated, " Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.
24 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.
25 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self?
Luke 9:23-25
This doesn't imply that we should take a vow of poverty. It essentially implies we perceive that everything has a place with God. Our lives have a place with God. Our families have a place with God. Our belonging have a place with God. Everything is his.
In Jesus' story, the first servant took what he had, invested it, and got a 100 percent return. He multiplied his lord's venture. The second, however he had less, did likewise.
This shows that it is not about a man's ability that matters as much as how he or she utilizes that ability. God never requests from us the capacities we don't have. In any case, He demands that we should use, to full, the capacities that we do have. We may not be equal in ability, but rather we ought to be equal in effort.
Take what God has given to you and do the most that you can with it for his transcendence. God can complete a great deal with a bit. If you don't trust me, simply ask the kid with the five loafs of bread and two fish who gave all that he had to Jesus. It didn't appear a to be alot, yet Jesus utilized them to feed a ravenous huge number. Jesus can take a little, favor it and duplicate it. He can utilize it beyond anything we could ever imagine.
If we humble ourselves, take what we have and offer it to God, if we will do what he has put before us and be dedicated in the easily overlooked details, at that point he will give us more to do. I would preferably attempt and come up short than never attempt by any means. Whenever you take a risk, you can fall flat. Yet, it's smarter to attempt than to never take risks and never have anything occur in your life.
So seize the day. Seize the occasion.
Seize the opportunities previously you. Try not to put it off too long, on the grounds that you might not have as much time as you think. Be gainful with your life. Be beneficial with your chance.
Seize the opportunities God has given you.
