Even Though We Could Be In The Process To Be What The Lord Has Thought Of Us To Be. Jeremiah 29:11; For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Yet, You Could Do More. “Measure Up!” Matthew 25:14; For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. (This is a prime example of; 2 Corinthians 10:15; Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men’s labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly.) Yet, You Could Do More. “Measure Up!” Matthew 25:15; And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to anther one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey. (This is a prime example of; Philippians 2:12; Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.) Yet, You Could Do More. “Measure Up!” Matthew 25:16; Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents. v17; And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. (Paul talk about a similar action that he took, as compare to these two. Philippians 3:13; Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, v14; I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.) Yet, You Could Do More. “Measure Up!” Matthew 25:18; But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money. (He did nothing, and that which he had he hid it. When you come to the Lord there should be some distance put from yourself and others. That’s being yourself in him, and dealing with others while being with him. Romans 5:5; And hope maketh not ashamed.) Yet, You Can Do More. “Measure Up!” The one with the five and with two, their lord said; Matthew 25;21,23; His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. But the one with the one. v26; His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: v27; Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. v28; Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. Yet You Could Do More. “Measure Up!” Luke 19:26; For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.
