Luke 19:26 "Yes," the king replied, "and to those who use well what they are given, even more will be given. But from those who do nothing, even what little they have will be taken away."
My Thoughts
Have you ever learned something from the Bible or from Chruch that you knew would make your life better and then not used it? Sure you have we all have... when we don't put it into practice the memory o what we learned is gone...disapears...that wonderful bit of knowledge that can make our life better is gone from our memory...because we didn't use it.
As we use what God gives us...we get better at being the person He wants us to be...the better we get at that the better our lives get. The better we get at what God would have us do the more he can bless us with.
God gives us what we can handle...if we handle what He has given us well, then God gives us more... if we handle it poorly then we loose it and go back to handling what we had before...then God tries again to see if we will do better. He doesn't try to see if we can do better... God gives us gifts because we are capable of doing the right things with them... it is up to us to make the choice, to make the effort to use what God give us in a positive, productive way.
I see it like this... When God gives us a gift it is like He has placed a seed in our hands...when we ask "God how can I use this gift for your glory?" we have planted the seed... when we take action..we have watered that seed.... then the seed can't help but grow! But if we don't plant the seed..it can't take root and it will just get swept away without producing any fruit at all. It is up to us, as God gives us information, and things.. to choose to use them wisely...once we get good at that there is no limit to what God can and will do in our lives.
