A man gave his neighbor a plow, for he could see that his land had yet to be tilled and was left fallow for many years. The man was grateful for the gift and gave thanks to the man often.
A week had passed, then a month, then several. And seeing that the man had not yet tilled his land inquired of him, "Friend, did I not give you a good tool for tending to your land? And still you have yet to use it. Why then, do you thank me often for it. What good is your thanks if your field is still untouched?"
Such is the man who is given great gifts from God and fails to steward them.
