Daily Devotional - Terms of Agreement - WK8 - 2/17/25 - Day 48 - "Using Your Gifts for God's Glory"

Author: Evangelist Lisa Dalton

“Using Your Gifts for God’s Glory”
Scripture: I 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:
God has uniquely gifted each of us with talents, skills, and spiritual gifts. These are not meant to be hidden or used solely for personal gain but to serve and bless others. When we use our gifts in service to others, we become channels of God’s grace, reflecting His love and kindness to the world.
Sometimes, we may feel like our gifts are insignificant or not as important as others. However, 1 Peter 4:10 reminds us that every gift, no matter how big or small, has a purpose in God’s plan. Whether it's encouraging someone, teaching, giving, or simply offering a listening ear, our service glorifies God and strengthens the body of Christ.

Application:

• Identify one gift or talent you have and find a way to use it to serve someone today.
• Pray and ask God to show you opportunities to be a blessing.
• Encourage someone else in their gifts and remind them they are valuable in God’s kingdom.

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the gifts You have given me. Help me to use them wisely, not for my own glory, but to serve others and bring honor to You. Open my eyes to opportunities to bless those around me today. May I be a faithful steward of Your grace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
