Author: Evangelist Lisa Dalton

“Faithful Stewards of Grace”
Scripture: 1 Peter 4:10, NIV

“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”

Devotion:
Peter reminds us that every believer has been entrusted with gifts—spiritual, practical, creative, and relational. These gifts are not meant to be hidden or hoarded but shared. When we serve others, we become channels of God’s grace, allowing His love to flow in diverse and beautiful ways. Notice the phrase “various forms”— God’s grace is multifaceted, showing up through teaching, encouragement, hospitality, generosity, and countless other acts of service.

Being a steward means we don’t own the gift; we manage it faithfully for God’s purposes. Our calling is not to compare our gifts with others, but to use what we’ve been given to bless those around us.

Application:
•  Identify your gift: Reflect on what God has entrusted to you—teaching, serving, encouraging, creating.
•  Use it intentionally: Find one way today to bless someone with that gift.
•  Celebrate diversity: Thank God for the different gifts you see in others.
•  Stay faithful: Remember that stewardship is about consistency, not comparison.

Prayer:
Lord, thank You for the gifts You have entrusted to me. Help me to recognize them, cherish them, and use them faithfully to serve others. May my life reflect Your grace in all its forms, and may I never grow weary of sharing what You’ve given me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
