Much Will Be Asked

Good Morning,

Luke 12:48 (New International Version)
...From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.

Most of us who are able to read the words of this verse of Scripture HAVE been given much. To go a step further, we have also been entrusted with much. Therefore, I guess it probably goes without saying, WE...you, me, and everyone who might read these words...we will have much demanded of us and much will be asked of us.

I guess we can all live with those facts, right? So, well, why bring it up? I suppose that the reason this subject has crossed my desk this morning and the reason I feel I've been asked to send this short message along, is: Have we given what has been demanded of us? Have we done what we have been asked to do?

A deep, long, hard look inside myself will be necessary for me to answer those questions. My friends, the same is needed for you, as well.

Yes, a very short message today that is also extremely difficult. I say that because, if you are at all like me, that deep, long, hard look might not be a comfortable thing to do. Not that it's hard to take that look; but that it's hard when we see the answers within.

Let us all be obedient to what we read in this verse of Scripture and let us all take the time to right whatever wrongs we find within. God, through His Holy Spirit, will, I truly believe, help us to do what needs to be done.

Love, peace, and blessings,

David
