What does the parable of the talents teach about fear?
Fear can bury what God meant you to use. Faithfulness is use, not only preservation.
The third servant did not lose the money by reckless risk. He hid it. His reason: I was afraid.
The others risked what was entrusted and produced something.
Sometimes the biblical question is not ‘what if I fail?’ It is ‘what if fear never lets me use what God gave?’
Verses
- Matthew 25:14-30 — The fearful servant hid the talent.
A next step. Name one gift fear has been sitting on. Use a small piece of it this week.
