“Too many of us have a Christian vocabulary rather than a Christian experience. We think we are doing our duty when we’re only talking about it.”
– Charles F. Banning
Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through a prophetic message when the body of elders laid their hands on you. – 1 Timothy 4:14 (NIV)
Life seems so busy, so full of distractions and “to do” lists. Let’s not let our “busyness” keep us from our Father’s “business.” Let’s find the ways God has gifted us to serve him and his people; then let’s dedicate ourselves to that with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength.
Gracious God, you have blessed me in so many different ways. Thank you for all these touches of your grace. But Father, I need your help to more clearly see how you have gifted me to serve you and to more passionately make that service a key priority in my life each day. Thank you for always hearing my prayers. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
