"'Yes,' the king replied, 'and to those who use well what they are given, even more will be given. But from those who do nothing, even what little they have will be taken away.'"
Interestingly, another rendering of "do nothing" is "have nothing." It seems this servant thought that what he had been given was not enough to manage. You may think you "have nothing," but this parable suggests that everyone is given something. To dismiss "little" as "nothing" means losing—forever—what little you have. God does not hold us accountable for what we don't possess. He always uses what we do have … and that's always enough.
