So the Lord God All-Powerful made everyone eager to work on his temple, especially Zerubbabel and Joshua.
1 TIMOTHY 4:14 (CEV)
Use the gift you were given...
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Use the gifts you've been given by God to serve him.
PRAYER
Thank you, Lord, for the gifts that you have given to me so that I can serve you. It feels good to be included in what you are doing. I confess, though, that too much of me gets channeled into my own agenda. I end up using my gifts for my own goals. Realign my agenda so that it looks exactly like your agenda. Then stir within me the enthusiasm needed to use the talents, skills, and gifts in me to advance our common agenda. I'm going to work on your temple. Amen.
