Use Your Gifts

We are responsible for the gifts God has given us and must be accountable for how we develop and use them.

Read: 2 Timothy 1:6-7

That is why I remind you to [a]fan into flame the gracious gift of God, [that inner fire—the special endowment] which is in you through the laying on of my hands [with those of the elders at your ordination]. 7 For God did not give us a spirit of timidity or cowardice or fear, but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of sound judgment and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control].

Tempted

Be Strong and Amazed

God made us rulers over everything, plants, animals etc. Too many times we forget to be strong and amazed.

Read: Psalms 8:4-8 

What is man that You are mindful of him,

And the son of [earthborn] man that You care for him?

5

Yet You have made him a little lower than [a]God,

And You have crowned him with glory and honor.

6

You made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;

You have put all things under his feet,

7

All sheep and oxen,

And also the beasts of the field,

8

The birds of the air, and the fish of the sea,

Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
