A wealthy man was going on a journey, but before he left, he called ten of his servants and gave each ten minas…”Put this money to work until I get back.” In that day a mina was worth about three months salary, so it was a sizable amount of money he gave each one to invest as they saw fit. Some used the money wisely and made more, while others did nothing, and incurred their master’s wrath on his return. We’ve all been given gifts and talents from our Master…but what are we doing with them? Each of us are responsible for the way we use or waste what the Lord has given us.
