Daily Devotional by Max Lucado, Jan 19th

 

Daily Devotional by Max Lucado “the One who came still comes and the One who spoke still speaks”   January 19 What Are Your Strengths?   We all have different gifts, each of which came because of the grace God gave us. Romans 12:6 (NCV)   There are some things we want to do but simply aren't equipped to accomplish. I, for example, have the desire to sing. Singing for others would give me wonderful satisfaction. The problem is, it wouldn't give the same satisfaction to my audience.... Paul gives good advice in Romans 12:3: "Have a sane estimate of your capabilities" (PHILLIPS). In other words, be aware of your strengths. When you teach, do people listen? When you lead, do people follow? When you administer, do things improve? Where are you most productive? Identify your strengths, and then.... major in them.... Failing to focus on our strengths may prevent us from accomplishing the unique tasks God has called us to do.     From: Just Like Jesus Copyright (Word Publishing, 1998) Max Lucado
