Have you ever thought about the importance of your safety?  The regulations by our local and federal government can seem ridiculous sometimes; we may not ever know why certain standards were established in the first place.  In your walk with Jesus, are you being too safe or too careless?

Faithfulness is a key to success in all areas of our life.  Being faithful to God is the most important attribute; being faithful to our work and to our families is second to that.  Who are you faithful to the most?  Are you faithful to gratifying your own needs, to fulfilling your own desires?  What if God asked you to give up certain things and be faithful only to Him?  Would you be willing to do that?

God has given you a talent to be used–salvation, gifts, influence–what are you going to do with it?  Are you going to bury it and never let it be used?  Don’t do that!  God has given you the most amazing talents, use them!  You are missing out on so much when you do not use these God-given talents; your wife, your children, and your church are all missing out on who you would become when you bury your talents.
