However,
Vivian and Don are still hard at work for the Lord: They are prayer warriors.
While they may not always be physically present and visible in the life of
their church, they are faithful “behind the scenes” in their service for Him.
The
parable of the talents in Matthew 25 reminds us that we must use the “talents”
God has given us wisely. All of us have God-given skills and abilities at
various levels—and we must not bury, unused, what God has given us.
It is not
only in our years of strength that God will use us, but also in our youth and
age, as well as in our sickness and weakness. Vivian and Don continue to serve
by praying. And like them, we honor our Savior by using our skills—“each
according to his own ability” (v.15) to serve Him who is worthy.
God can
use you at any age—if you are willing. (RBC)
