Jot down the first thing that comes to your mind.
““‘Yes,’ the king replied, ‘and to those who use well what they are given, even more will be given. But from those who do nothing, even what little they have will be taken away.”
Luke 19:26 NLT

Takeaway No. 1: I was reading this just now and I saw that the man who does nothing with whatever talents he has, he will lose and the stuff he has will be taken away from him. Done by force.
I must be resourceful and diligent. Even though I don’t know how things will turn out.m, I must move forward. Yes the gifts and callings of God will never go away, but the prospect of not fulfilling the assignment God gives, is scary.
Please forgive me Lord for not acting more vigorously and stepping out in faith to do what you called me to do.
Takeaway No. 2: How can you read this as a Christian and say that communism (or its intermediate predecessor, socialism) is a godly thing? Jesus explicitly states that people are given different portions according to their talents. And they’ll be rewarded based on the work that they do with it.
With God: Equal opportunities, yes. Equal outcomes? No way, Jose.
