Earned

The first came, saying, ‘Lord, your Mina has earned ten Minas.’

Luke 19:16

This is meant to be understood as a lifetime of earning. This servant had not produced such a return overnight. But with careful and studious attention over the course of time, the benefit was earned.

Heavenly Father, thank You for the gifts You give us for life. Your investment in us is for our blessing and is so wonderful. I cannot thank You enough. May everything we do bring glory to You in this life and in the life to come for all eternity! You are the LORD of all! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
