Permission to Pause with Pat Layton
Episode 50: Pause and consider your very special TALENTS!
Hey there friend-I am so blessed to virtually meet with you today.
Thank you for choosing THIS PODCAST as a place to Pause and Rest in God’s Love for a few sweet minutes.
Today we are going to Pause over the word, TALENT
The scripture that I’m using today is Matthew 25 verses 16 and 21 and 22
14 p“For qit will be like a man rgoing on a journey, who called his servants3 and entrusted to them his property. 15 To one he gave five stalents,4 to another two, to another one, tto each according to his ability. Then he rwent away. 16 He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he made five talents more.
20 And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me five talents; here, I have made five talents more.’ 21 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and xfaithful servant.5 yYou have been faithful over a little; zI will set you over much. Enter into athe joy of your master.’
If you read a bit more of that story in the Bible you will see that not all the servants who were given talents form their Master, were as faithful as this one. I don’t know about you but sometimes I am more like the other guys in the story than I am like this one.
Sometimes I limit --in my own heart in my own mind the talents that I believe that have to offer.
Last episode (number 49) we paused over the word UNLIMITED
Today’s Pause is a bit along that same line of thinking—today we are going to pause and consider our talents and where we might be holding back on our Master, our Father God.
I hope you enjoy your pause today!
