Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 13 August 2025 TOPIC: Well Done
Today’s Scripture
“The master said, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together!’”
Matthew 25:23, NLT
Today’s Word
In Jesus’ parable of the bags of gold in Matthew 25, the master entrusted one servant with five bags, another with two bags, and the third with one bag. Each received according to his ability. The point of the parable was not how many gifts God has given us, but that we be faithful to use whatever gifts are ours. He’s saying that you can’t wait for the perfect time or when you’re in your comfort zone. You have to take steps of faith now, and if you don’t use your gifts, you’ll lose them.
God is expecting You to stir up what He has put in you, develop those gifts, and use them to give Him a return on His investment. Keep using what you have and He will give you more.
Don’t compare your gifts to someone else. You’re not in a competition with them. Be the best that you can be with what you have. Take the gifts you have, be faithful to develop them, and God will give you more ability, more skill, more favor, more influence.
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You that You are sovereign in the gifts and the calling You have given me. Thank You that I can take steps of faith today to stir up my gifts and be faithful to use them. I will celebrate and develop all that You have given me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
