BASIC SCRIPTURE: ZECHARIAH 4:10 (KJV)
-
For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
BASIC SCRIPTURE: MATTHEW 25:14-30 (KJV)
-
For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
-
And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
-
Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
-
And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
-
But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.
-
After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
-
And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
-
His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
-
He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.
-
His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
-
Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:
-
And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
-
His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:
-
Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
-
Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
-
For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
-
And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

ADDITIONAL REFLECTION
Key Verse (Zechariah): Zechariah 4:10 — “For who hath despised the day of small things?”
Key Verse (Matthew): Matthew 25:21 — “Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.”
The Two Passages Connected:
| Zechariah 4:10 | Matthew 25:14-30 |
|---|---|
| Do not despise small things | Faithful over a few things |
| The eyes of the LORD watch | The Lord returns to reckon |
| Rejoicing comes | Enter into joy |
The Three Servants:
| Servant | Talents | Action | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| First | 5 | Traded and gained 5 | “Well done” + ruler over many |
| Second | 2 | Traded and gained 2 | “Well done” + ruler over many |
| Third | 1 | Hid it in the earth | Wicked + slothful + outer darkness |
The Problem with the Third Servant:
-
He had a wrong view of God: “hard man, reaping where You have not sown” (verse 24)
-
He was motivated by fear, not love (verse 25)
-
He made excuses instead of acting (verse 25)
-
He was called wicked and slothful (verse 26)
Question for the Day: What talent have you buried because of fear, and when will you dig it up and start trading?
