MAIN THEME: WHAT DO I HAVE?

TITLE: PRESERVING YOUR TALENTS

The bible verse for today’s devotional is:1 Timothy 4:14 (NIV)
“Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through prophecy when the body of elders laid their hands on you.”

Devotional:
Preserving your talents means not only recognizing and using them but also taking care of them to ensure they are not wasted or neglected. Just as athletes train regularly to keep their bodies in peak condition, you must continually develop and refine your talents. This involves practice, learning, and sometimes even rest, to ensure your talents don’t burn out or go to waste.

A good example is the story of the late Kobe Bryant, who was known for his incredible work ethic. Kobe didn’t just rely on his natural ability; he constantly worked to improve, often arriving at the gym hours before anyone else. He preserved his talent by being disciplined, dedicated, and passionate about his craft.

Here are a few reflective questions:

1. Am I actively working to preserve and develop my talents?
2. What habits can I build to ensure my talents are not wasted?
3. How can I use my talents without burning out?

Let Us Pray:
Lord, thank You for the talents You have given me. Help me to preserve them by being disciplined and diligent in my efforts. May I use my talents wisely and for Your glory. Amen!

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

• I know what I have
• I am committed to preserving and refining my talents. I will practise discipline, dedication, and balance in all I do.

Have an awe-mazing day. Cheers. I’ll see you tomorrow.
