Pursue Your Strengths
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“Do not neglect your gift…” (I Timothy 4:14).
TODAY’S WORD
God has equipped each one of us with specific gifts and talents. It’s up
to you to not only to identify those gifts, but to be disciplined to develop
those gifts. You have to learn to stay in your strength zone. What are you
naturally good at? What do you enjoy doing? Take the time to identify your
strengths and weaknesses and as the scripture says, give yourself to your
gifts. In other words, don’t spend all your time trying to improve your
weaknesses. Don’t waste valuable days pursuing things that are outside your
main gifting. Focus on your strengths.
There is something that you’re good at naturally—something you can do
that comes easy to you. Step out into your area of gifting. Are you good with
people? Are you good with your hands? Do you have a great voice? Find ways to
develop those gifts. Know that your gifts and talents are a part of your divine
destiny. If you’ll be comfortable with who God made you to be, and thank Him
for your unique gifting, you’ll not only enjoy your life more, but you’ll be
ready to receive the abundant blessing God has in store for you!
PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, thank You for equipping me with everything I need to be
successful in this life. I ask that You show me how to develop the gifts within
me for Your glory. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Your hands shaped me and made me. Job 10:8 (NIV)
God formed every creature on this planet with a special area of expertise. Some animals run, some hop, some swim, some burrow, and some fly. Each has a particular role to play based on the way they were shaped by God. The same is true with humans.
Before God created you, he planned exactly how he wanted you to serve him, and then he shaped you for those tasks. He carefully shaped and formed you to serve him in a way that makes your ministry unique.
God never wastes anything. He would not give you abilities, interests, talents, gifts, personality, and life experiences unless he intended to use them for his glory.
