MAIN THEME: WHAT DO I HAVE?

TITLE: TALENT IS NOT ENOUGH

The bible verse for today’s devotional is: 2 Peter 1:5-6 (NIV)
“For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness.”

Devotional:
Having talent is a wonderful gift, but talent alone is not enough to achieve greatness. It requires hard work, discipline, and character. The world is full of talented people who never reached their full potential because they relied solely on their abilities and neglected the other qualities necessary for success.

Consider the life of King Saul in the Bible. He was anointed as the first king of Israel, tall, handsome, and full of potential. But his lack of obedience and humility eventually led to his downfall. On the other hand, David, who was less physically impressive, became a great king because he combined his talent with faith, hard work, and a heart after God.

Here are a few reflective questions:

1. Am I relying too much on my talent alone?
2. What other qualities do I need to develop to complement my talents?
3. How can I cultivate discipline and perseverance in my life?

Let Us Pray:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the talents You’ve given me. Help me to remember that talent is just one part of the equation. Give me the strength to develop the discipline, character, and perseverance needed to succeed. Amen.

Please say these words of affirmation. Say them, mean them, own them and live them.

• I know what I have
• I understand that talent alone is not enough. 

• I will develop the discipline, character, and perseverance needed to fully utilize my gifts.

Have a beautiful day exhibiting more than your talents. See you tomorrow.
