‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; (Matthew 25:21 NIV)
A few weeks ago, my husband and I ran a half-marathon together. There were many other couples running together, but one in particular caught our attention. A man with an amputated leg ran with crutches, while his wife ran alongside him. He inspired over 30,000 runners that day. After the run, I looked him up. His name is Larry Chloupek, a 56-year-old from Arizona. He lost his leg when he was seven years old to bone cancer. He holds the world record for running the fastest marathon on crutches.
Unlike Larry Chloupek, most of us have two functioning legs; we have not had to battle cancer or other severe health issues. Yet, we take these and other resources for granted. We focus on our limitations or discomfort. We squander God-given opportunities. We are blessed with talents and abilities for a reason: not for our own profit, but for God’s glory. Everything we have is from Him. Now it is up to us to give back maximum returns on His investment.
All glory to You God, for you are able, through Your mighty power that works within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we can ask or imagine.
