The bags of gold that the three servants received were according to their ability, this tells us that God never entrusts us with more than we can handle.

The first servant received a lot of faith, the second a medium faith, the third a tiny faith.

The big servant and average servant immediately went to apply their faith, that is, to put their faith into action.

It doesn't matter whether you're got a faith as small as a mustard seed or one big enough to move mountains. We see that the two servants by using the faith they had multiplied it and their faith grew even more. Use your faith, this way it'll be multiplied and it'll become big!

So, if the issue wasn't the size of his faith, why did the third servant fail? He decided to throw his mini faith into a hole, buried it and remained inert there. His faith was dead because the fear of being punished smothered it.

Fear prevents someone from believing in the Word and the infinite love that God has for us, for this reason the Bible warns in several passages not to allow fear to dominate us.

"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

Isaiah 41:10 NIV.

Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don't be afraid; just believe."

Mark 5:36 NIV.

“Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.

Mark 11:23 NIV.

“'If you can'?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.”.

Mark 9:23 NIV.

5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. 

6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 

7 That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 

8 Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.

James 1:5-8 NIV
