Gift Giver

Daniel 1:17, 20 (NLT)

God gave these four young men an unusual aptitude for understanding every aspect of literature and wisdom. And God gave Daniel the special ability to interpret the meanings of visions and dreams.

Whenever the king consulted them in any matter requiring wisdom and balanced judgment, he found them ten times more capable than any of the magicians and enchanters in his entire kingdom.


Notes:

Everyone hones their skills to be famous and recognized by many. That purpose has a weak foundation. That is why, when we get depressed, even our proudest talent can not comfort us.

God is the giver of all abilities and talents. He has entrusted us with such gifts to do His marvelous works on earth. He uses our capabilities to touch lives and be fruitful for the betterment of our life as well as the others.

We may realize the very purpose of our skills and talents. Let us use it for the Glory of God and not for selfish ambitions.

Surely, everything you do may seem to be meaningful to you because to are driven by God's love.



Prayer:

Our Heavenly Father, we thank you for enabling us to do your work. Thank you that you are so rich and we have a Father like you who is so generous to give us something we can use for the advancement of your Kingdom. We may not waste this gift of grace to glorify your Name each moment. Thank you dear God. This, we pay, in Jesus Name, Amen.
