I was listening to one of my mentors today when I suddenly recalled the parable of the talents – some of you might know it. It’s the one in the Bible about the man who before he went away gave 10 talents to 10 of his servants to engage in business.
One servant made 10 talents from the 1 talent given, another servant made 2 talents and a third servant kept the talent wrapped away because he was afraid. He saw his master as a hard man. The first two servants were given authorities over cities according to how they managed the talent, the third servant had his 1 talent given to the first servant.
