Are you still hiding your talents in fear and anxiety?

Ever feel like that 'third' servant in the story of the servants entrusted by the Lord with talents?
You know the story in Matthew 25:21.
The story is about a master that goes on a journey and leaves varying amounts of talents with his servants.
The first two servants double the talents.
The third one hides them so they will remain safe.
The master was not happy with the third servant!

Sometimes I have felt like that....
The self protective, stagnant, fearful servant.
I am grateful that God can change my fears, anxieties and worries
and give me the grace to trust Him and His provision.

Lord, we lift up this busy day to You,
All the things we would like to get done even though we are exhausted.

Whenever man trusts wholly in Me,
and leaves to Me the choosing of the very day and hour,
then there is My miracle working power.
Trust in Me.
Have an endless faith in Me, and you will see and seeing you will have great joy and give Me the glory.  God Calling

"Not by power or might, but by My Spirit, says the Lord."

There is nothing that makes you feel quite so loved, warm and complete
as when God says, "thank you!"
Even if the world rejects you,
His word of affirmation is enough.
The Lord said to him,
"Well done good and faithful servant."  Matt. 25:21.
