For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them – Ephesians 2:10
“He doesn’t seem to fit in any of the five ministries he was placed in,” Elder Brown said, shaking his head. “That’s such a shame. He’s such a nice young man. So, what are we going to tell him when he arrives?” Deaconess Jenkins asked. A response was suspended as the elder and deaconess became distracted by the pleasant melody coming from a nearby piano. Shortly thereafter, the young man knocked on the door, entered the room, and said, “Hello, I hope my goofing off hasn’t disturbed you two.”
The opening parody was inspired by the servant given one talent in Jesus’ Parable (Matthew 25:14-30). Because, unlike the other two servants, this servant chose not to see his talent as an opportunity to be fruitful. The same mindset applies to those who perceive the possession of certain qualities and capabilities as insignificant and unbeneficial. However, it’s forgotten the servant’s unfavorable judgment for his lack of stewardship of the single talent, which conveys a message of God’s expectation for every gift, even if one.
Ephesians 2:10 assures the assignment of “good works.” Therefore, we only need to commune with God about how He desires to use what we possess. In other words, the chase becomes a wonderful stroll.
