However, the message is universal and applicable to our lives if you listen closely. We all have negative experiences and challenges we need to overcome. Mine are betrayal and rejection. When these challenges interfere (supported by the evil one who eagerly wants to throw every obstacle at us to defeat us) with our relationship with God (and Jesus and the Holy Spirit), we need to rebuke satan for trying to undermine our efforts to keep our focus on Him. We need to maintain the Main Thing as the Main Thing - which is focus on God and not ourselves. It's also about the talents and relates to the 3 men whom were provided money to invest and multiply. If we are faithful with what we are given from God, he will entrust us with more of the spiritual gifts because we have proven ourselves to be capable and worthy.
