Extracted from The Maxwell Leadership Bible
Jesus told a story about a landowner who gave three men some funds to spend, save or invest. Each did as he saw fit, and when the owner returned, he rewarded them according to how wisely they used their resources. Those who multiplied what had been entrusted to them received even more to use. The one who failed had even his little money taken away.
Our Lord wants us to remember that leaders are brokers of the resources they have been given. Those resources may include people, budget, time, wisdom, and talents. When leaders broker those resources well, God rewards them and gives them even more to invest. When they fail, they lose what little they have.
This is a sobering truth, but one that leaders would do well to remember. Do you want more resources? If so, what are you doing with what you already have?
