The old saying goes, “The business of the Lord requires haste.” The word “business” means “haste, diligence, earnestness”. In the parable of the talents, Jesus cited the one talent man who buried his talent for admonition in Matthew 25:26-27 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: 27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
