Devotional Story

James, a young man, discovered his talent for teaching. Initially hesitant, he realized that this gift was a divine responsibility. He began to teach small groups, growing in confidence and skill. His journey wasn’t just about teaching; it was about understanding his purpose and the way God was using his gift to touch lives.

Prayer

Dear Lord, help me recognize the gifts You have bestowed upon me. Grant me the wisdom to nurture them and use them for Your glory. May I grow in grace and knowledge, understanding my role in Your divine plan. Amen.

Closing Verse

“As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.” – 1 Peter 4:10 KJV
