A CERTAIN NOBLEMAN
By Bible Names of God
Luke 19:12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
The setting of this picture is remarkable. Our Lord is standing with the Jews around Him, in the shadows of a palace built by a nobleman, Archelaus, who had gone to Rome and received the kingdom from Caesar. Our Lord is the Nobleman whose face was turned toward the land beyond the skies where He has gone and from whence He will one day return. "Occupy till I come" is His message. He has entrusted to us, as His servants, the most valuable treasure in Heaven, --- time, opportunity, the gifts of the Holy Spirit, a great world in which to transact the greatest of all business! Precious privileges are ours and a solemn accounting must be given.
Lord, give us keenness of vision to see, and wisdom to utilize our opportunities in the investment of our lives for Thee. Amen.

"How Is Failure Part of Life?" - Andy Crouch
Andy Crouch, Executive Editor at Christianity Today, talks about seeing failure as a necessary part of the creative process.
In a highly competitive professional environment, admitting failure is not typically seen as a good idea. We carefully cultivate our own success stories, possibly with very good reasons for doing so. As a result, we have lost a lot of our vocabulary for productively talking about failure.
Andy's right: to succeed creatively, you have to be able to fail creatively. Learning from mistakes, being willing to take risks, exploring uncertain possibilities—if we can't do these things, it's really tough to grow. Doing so takes humility, perseverence, and, most of all, faith.
Want to hear more? You can find these and dozens more videos over at The High Calling YouTube Channel.
TRANSCRIPT: I've come to realize that all creativity leads through failure . . . takes you through failure. And some creativity leads you to failure; you just end up in failure. So all creativity requires the willingness to fail, and I don't know any creative endeavor where you don't fail before you succeed . . . at least when you're learning. But as you go on in that field, if you are doing what you're meant to do, the demands get bigger and bigger. The levels of failure that you have to contemplate or go through to get to success get greater and greater. Paul ends up at the end of his life writing, and he says, "Almost everyone I trusted has deserted me." He writes to Timothy and says, "Please come visit me." At that moment in his life—and his life is about to fail, be cut off by the Roman Empire—he looks at most of what he's done and says it's deserted. So the calling to the creative life, to the culture making life is not a calling to more and more clearer success. It's a calling to more and more creativity, which may or may not succeed. All of which is going to put you at risk for failing, and all of which then has to be put in the hands of God.
