Scripture

Luke 19:26 For I say to you, that to everyone who has will be given; and from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

Observation

Use it or loose it! God's gifts, whether physical or spiritual are to be used to benefit His Kingdom. Luke 16:10 also tells us if we are faithful in the small things He will give us more. All we need to do is try a little and God will bless our effort. All this person needed to do was to let someone know he had the gift to get interest, instead he hid it.

Application

I need a generous spirit with all that God has given me, not just money. God's proof of His provision for me and my family has been overwhelming because I have taken Him at His word about tithing. My faith in that area is at an extreme level. I also need to be more generous with my time, energy and spiritual gifts. As I give those away I will receive more to replace them. It is His way.

Prayer

God, help me to be a generous person in all things. Help me be an example of a giving and blessed person. Let me see opportunities to use what God has given me.
