Aug 20 - Stewards of God’s Gifts

TODAY'S FOCUS

Every believer has received something from God that is intended to serve others. Gifts are not possessions to protect; they are trusts to steward.

TODAY WE CARRY BEFORE THE LORD

We pray for spiritual gifts to be stirred, recognized, tested, developed, and exercised in love. May every gift strengthen the body and point people to Jesus.

LISTEN AND RESPOND

What gift or ability have I neglected because of fear or comparison?

Where do I need training or mature guidance?

Does my use of gifts draw attention to Jesus or to myself?

PRAYER

Lord, reveal the gifts You have placed within us. Awaken what has been neglected, undeveloped, or hidden by fear. Teach us to serve faithfully, not for recognition but for Your glory and the strengthening of Your people. Let every gift operate through love, humility, biblical order, and dependence upon You.
