Receiving & Investing Talent with JoyBy: Karen Leann Murphy Published on: 17/04/2017

This rich devotional explores the Parable of the Talents with a focus on posture—how we receive what God entrusts to us and invest it with joy, faith, and courage. Drawing insight from the original Greek and the emotional responses of the servants, the author paints a vivid contrast between those who stepped forward in obedience and the one who backed away in fear. More than a story about money, this post speaks to the gifts, opportunities, and callings God places in our hands—some heavy, all sacred. With heartfelt honesty and theological depth, it invites readers to recognize their own God-given talents, reject fear, and run toward the day of reckoning with joyful anticipation and faithful return.
