  • The Daily Prompt – No. 308

    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.

    In other words, “Stay ready so you don’t have to get ready.”

  • Verse of the Day

    ““The one who is faithful in a very little thing is also faithful in much; and the one who is unrighteous in a very little thing is also unrighteous in much. Therefore if you have not been faithful in the use of unrighteous wealth, who will entrust the true wealth to you? And if you have not been faithful in the use of that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?”
    ‭‭Luke‬ ‭16‬:‭10‬-‭12‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬

    Verse 12 was that we repeated every week in my church volunteer group. This verse brings back some nostalgia but, as the rest of God’s Holy Scriptures does, also it brings correction. It reframes my mindset to what’s important. With its correction, it brings life.
