(Luke 12:48 ESV) Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more.
It’s not what we have that
counts. It’s how we use what we have that is the issue. We are in a position of
trust. Therefore we must use our
resources to advance the cause of Christ.
We are to make the most of the ability, the talents, the opportunities,
the resources that God has given to us.
The
world of science immediately recognizes the name of Stephen Hocking. This intellectual genius holds a prestigious
office at Oxford University
Years
ago, Stephen Hocking was stricken with the feared Lou Gehrig’s Disease which
causes a deteriorating of bodily function.
It is a debilitating neuromuscular disease which is harsh and cruel in
its effect upon the body. Hocking’s condition
is so severe that he is practically motionless.
Only his eyes glance about. Yet Hocking is not to be dejected. He
continues to work – by using one finger on a computer – his last remaining
motor function. Hocking utilizes what he has.
How about you?
