Writing

“The devil finds work for idle hands” has been quoted and used by many as a warning, but this is not an original thought. God has spoken many times through scripture about idleness, stagnation, and apathy. The Books of 1st and 2nd Timothy are letters written by Paul to Timothy; they are a road map of what a good and faithful servant look like. God commands us to be diligent in the work of spreading the gospel and righteous followers of Jesus Christ. He has given us gifts to utilize in the advancement of spreading the gospel here on earth. These gifts are not meant to be buried like the servant who was given one talent (Matthew 25:18; ESV “But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master’s money.”) but to be used as a mighty tool for the Kingdom of Heaven. 2 Timothy 1:14; ESV says, “By the Holy Spirit who dwells within us, guard the good deposit entrusted to you.”What has God placed in you and how are you maximizing your gift(s) to benefit others? Our goal in eternity is to hear, “Well done my good and faithful servant.” Let’s not grow weary in doing good.
