God gives each of us different gifts and opportunities in life, we have to make the best use of them to the glory of God. If not, they will be taken away from us.
In the bible, we are told that Adam lived a total of 930 years. Today, a human being does not live that long. We should make the best use of the time God has given us on earth. Be it 10 years, 100 years or 130 years, we should make the best use of it to give glory to God. One day, we shall die, and God will judge us for how we lived our lives with the time He has given us on earth.
In the bible, 1 Samuel Chapter 15 vs 3, God commanded Saul to destroy all the Amalekites. But Saul decided to spare the choicest animals, valuable items and King Agag. This made God angry, and He rejected Him as King of Israel. Also, God chose a teenager to replace him as king.
In the bible, Matthew Chapter 25 vs. 14 - 30, a man was travelling, and he gave his 3 servants different bags of silver, depending on their abilities. To the first, he gave five bags, the second had two bags and the last had one bag. The ones with five bags and two bags respectively, doubled their bags. But the one with one bag buried it. When their master returned, he was happy with the two servants who doubled their bags and he gave them more responsibilities, but he was displeased with the last one that buried his bag. He ordered that servant to be thrown in the outer darkness.
In Matthew Chapter 25 vs 29, it is written that everyone who has will be given even more in abundance, but those who have not, even the little they have will be taken away from them.
We should make sure that we are not idle, but we should make use of our talents, gifts and different opportunities that God has placed in our paths to use and serve the Lord because, we do not know tomorrow.
