Luke 19: 26 He replied, "I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what they have will be taken away."
Jesus is not a fuzzy, feel good guy here. This is right before he sends for the donkey to take him to the Last Supper. After that, he turns over the money changers' tables. He is talking about the 3 servants of the cruel master. Each is given 10 mins to make money with while the master is away. Two follow instructions, but the third buries his, in fear that he will lose it. The master is angry and takes the 10 back, giving it to the one who earned the most.
Faith is the focus. It's good to have faith, but it's not enough. We must work to strengthen our faith and to share it. Fear is bad, robbing us of possibilities.
Prayer: Lord, let me take the gift of faith You have given me and turn it into Your work on Earth. I have so many worries, and You hold all the answers. Guide and comfort us.
Amen
