THE MAIN THEME: WHAT DO I HAVE?

TITLE: THE 5 PHASES OF TALENT - MULTIPLICATION

 Our quote for today’s devotional is:

“Discipline and constant work are the whetstones upon which the dull knife of talent is honed until it becomes sharp enough, hopefully, to cut through even the toughest meat and gristle.” ― Stephen King

Devotional:

Talents, they say, are God-given and skills are things you can learn. However, whether it be an in-born talent or an acquired skill, one thing is sure, we need to commit to getting better at developing and knowing the best way to use our giftings effectively.

There are many examples of those who had dedicated their time to honing their skills.. for today, we will look at Micheal Jordan, one of the legendary basketballers of our time.

Michael Jordan’s path to greatness was paved with hard work and dedication. In high school, despite his talent, he wasn’t picked for the varsity basketball team. Many would have given up, but not Michael. He saw this setback as an opportunity to dig deeper, spending countless hours refining his skills and pushing his limits. His unwavering commitment to building his talent led to a breakthrough when he was recruited by the University of North Carolina, where he made the game-winning shot in the 1982 NCAA Championship. From there, his relentless pursuit of excellence took him to the pinnacle of basketball, earning six NBA championships and five MVP awards. Michael’s journey is a testament to the power of dedication and the incredible things that can happen when we commit to developing our gifts, no matter the obstacles.

Here are a few reflective questions:

-          How can I use my talents today to be a blessing to someone?

-          In what ways can I show commitment to growing my talents and/or skills?

LET US PRAY:

Dear God, I thank you for entrusting me with this gift of [insert your talent here], I ask that you help me commit to learning about and growing my strengths in Jesus' name. Amen.

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

• I know what I have
• I have been entrusted with great talents.
• I am committed to growing my talents.
• I am getting better at using my talents each day.

Do have a fulfilling day. Take good care of yourself and see you tomorrow!
