Matthew 25:20 - 21 (King James Version)
20And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
21His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Sometimes people don't like where God has put them. We may not like the situation where we are placed. We may not like where we are. I want to be something great for God. We want to make a difference in our world. Maybe the Lord wants us to be effective right where we are. Maybe He wants us to take advantage of the opportunities in front of us and be faithful in the little things. Who knows what God has in store for us? If we will be a faithful servant over a few things, he can make us ruler over many things.
If God has you somewhere that you do not choose to be, just hang in there. Be faithful, do what He has already told you, and wait on Him and on His timing. God will do something wonderful for you or with you if you will just remain faithful. We need to just be available and open to do what He would have us do now. God desires faithful stewards and all His faithful stewards shall receive the crown of life. Those faithful and diligent in multiplying the talents assigned to them shall reap greater reward and greater responsibility. Remain faithful to the Lord Jesus just as He is faithful to us.
