to whomever much is given – v4

words of wisdom spoken

with great power

comes responsibility

to be good stewards

to act in righteousness

to think about others

their burdens, their path

these ancient words of wisdom

that with power comes a burden

responsibility for others

to whomever much is given

much is expected, a calling

a fulfillment of purpose

being faithful with our gifts

we must not be blinded

by power, by ambition

we must not be distracted

by wealth, by power;

we must remain faithful

to our purpose for the kingdom

to our calling from God
