What's "Minas" is Yours!

Scripture ~ So he called 10 of his servants, delivered to them 10 minas, and said to them 'Do business until I come'. Luke 19:13

Observation ~ The one who earned 10 minas, and the one who earned 5 minas, were allowed to keep them. In fact, the one who earned 10, was given the one the unfaithful steward lost. It seems as though if you do something with what you have, you get to keep it. If you do nothing, it will be taken away and given to someone who will do something with it.

Application ~ I need to take an inventory of what the Lord has entrusted into my care. What do I have that he is expecting me to do something with? Money? Resources? Health? Time? Money - I can be a better steward to save more, in order to give more. Resources - I can use it up, wear it out,  make it do, or do without.  Health  - taking care of myself that I might extend the quality of time I have to serve Him. Time? Working smarter, not harder, and using it wisely so I have more 'free time' to be available for Him.

Prayer ~ Father, here on October 6th, I dedicate myself to being a better steward of what you have entrusted into my care. Teach me to be a better 'ruler'.
