You can’t play it safe.
Jesus talked about three guys who were given assets by their employer. He charged them with deploying the assets to advance the cause. Two did that, but the last one just buried the resources, so as not to lose them. He played it safe. In the end, the owner took those assets and gave them to the guy who did the most with what he had.
Momentum is lost when we play it safe.
Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Matthew 13:12
When we are good stewards of the resources we have, momentum is generated, and it seems that what we have grows.
