Financial Freedom

Financial freedom starts with you becoming a good steward over what has been entrusted to you.
A master gave three different stewards some money (money weight was called a talent--approximately equal to about $1,000). They were to manage it while he was gone. The first servant (steward) received the most. He worked hard, made wise decisions, and doubled the property. The second steward received less money, but he too worked hard and made wide decisions to double what he was given. The third steward took the money and buried, achieving nothing with it. He did not make wise decisions with his talent. The master was happy with the first two, and they received increased responsibility and blessings. The third was chastised for his laziness.
