I recently studied Matthew 25 and there is a wrestling lesson in there too. Talent and Opportunity. Everyone is blessed with a certain amount of both.
So lets start with talent. Basically, how good could you possibly be? You don't have any power over how much talent you received. Don't pay too much attention to what other people think about your talent, but you only have so much. But you do have talent. The modern word for talent came from the Bible. It originally represented a specific amount or money (about $1,000) The translation develop because the expectation was to make an investment. If you just sat on your talent you are lazy.
This is how we get to opportunity. You are also blessed with the opportunity to invest your talent. You are given a chance. The funny thing about opportunity is that it has an expiration date. You only get four seasons in high school. The post season and the cross town dual only come once a year. Everyday is an opportunity to get ready. What have you done this month, this week, or today?
