On
Loan
• Loan- to give with the understanding that it must be
returned.
• Steward- a person who is in charge of another person’s
property.
•Tool- an
gadget for doing work.
God made us stewards over the
skills, abilities, gifts and talents that He has loaned us. He loaned them to
us so that we can use them to bring Him glory while we’re on earth.
In
Matthew 25:14,15, Jesus tells a parable about a man who entrusted his wealth to
his servants while he went on a trip. Two of the servants invested well, but
the third servant, out of fear, just buried the wealth. When the master returned,
he was so upset with the third man, that he called him lazy and gave his
portion away. Just like in the parable, we have been entrusted with God’s
wealth.
God’s
overall plan is to restore the world back to its original state before the fall
of man. Within the time that each person is on earth, they will have a very
important part to play in this plan. God made sure that everybody has all the tools
that they will need in order to do the job that He has called them to do.
Who
are we to say if our contribution is of any worth? Or, how will we justify the
fact that we didn’t feel like doing our part? Everyone has a choice but, do we have an option? Hmmm!
By
and by; in the end of it all, the loans will be called in, and we will have
to give an account to the Master.
Let’s never
forget why we are here!
