TODAY’S WORD
Some people say the richest place in the world has to be the diamond mines in South Africa or the Middle Eastern oil fields, but it’s in graveyards. In the graves are buried dreams, books that were never written, songs that were never sung, businesses that were never started, inventions that were never developed, relationships that were never formed. So many people never developed the gifts and talents God entrusted them with. What could you be at this time next year if you got rid of the distractions and things that are not producing good fruit and put all your efforts into the main thing that you know God put in your heart?
It may mean taking a class, getting things lined up to start that business, finding a mentor who can help develop your skills. You may be good at doing many things, but you can’t do many things great. Sometimes we’re too spread out. Paul says, “This one thing I do.” Find that one thing and excel at it. Find that one thing and do it to the best of your ability.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You for the gifts and talents You have given to me and are unique to my life. Thank You that You created me to develop them and use them to make a difference in the world. I declare that I will focus on that one main thing that You put in my heart and excel at it. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
