Are you a bit rusty?

Friday November 18th, Matthew 25 : 16 “The servant who received the five bags of silver began to invest the money and earned five more. 17 The servant with two bags of silver also went to work and earned two more. 18 But the servant who received the one bag of silver dug a hole in the ground and hid the master’s money. The first two put their talents to work for, and in the kingdom. The third one played it safe and no one knew he had the talents or gifts. I can imagine that after all that time in the ground, the talent was not only worth no more than before; it was also a bit rusty. That seems like a good metaphor for what happens to the gifts God gives us. Use them or lose them. If they are a bit rusty you need to clean them up and rub them with a bit of prayer and start working them. Then the fun begins.
