When we submit what and where we are to God, our rule or dominion then increases. In Jesus’ words from the parable of the talents (Matt. 25), our master says, “Well done! You were faithful with a few things, and I will put you in charge of many things. Share what your Lord enjoys”; that is, share the larger direction or governance of things for good. For God’s unlimited, creative will constantly invites us, even now, into an ever larger share in what he is doing. Like Jesus, we can enter into the work we see our father doing (John 5:17-19).

Scripture:
• Read and meditate on Matthew 25:14-30.
Reflection:
• Do you consider ministry or service as participation with God?
Practice:
• Meditate on Matthew 25:14-30 and ask God, “How are you inviting me to participate in your kingdom?” Seek God’s kingdom in every area of your life and begin to discern God at work in His mission. Express your desire to participate in his work.
