Gold and silver are so-called noble metals due to its' characters: resistant towards corrosion and attack from other chemical compounds, difficult to obtain, and definitely its' high value. Gold is a soft metal that can be molded easily, but also strong and difficult to break. These days, gold is more useful because it is known to deliver heat and electricity well. Being said that, we use gold to make jewelry, computer and cellphone's component, medication, and so on so forth.
You need to realize the noble and less noble things. What will be trusted to you is depending on how you live in God's eye: whether you act like gold, silver, wood, or just soil. It is impossible to make a crown from wood or scepter from the soil. Just like gold and silver that need to be melted and molded first, you need to purify yourself from all the unholy things. The more you purify yourself from the bad things, God will see your worth to be used in noble work.

Because only to His decent and high integrity servants, God will give greater responsibility and take him to a higher level.
