| Skill That Can Slay a Giant |
|
| TODAY’S SCRIPTURE |
| “A man’s gift makes room for him and brings him before great men.” |
| (Proverbs 18:16, NASB) |
|
| TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria |
When people hear the story of David and Goliath,
sometimes they think, “That was all God.” And yes, in a sense, I know it
was God. But the truth is that God didn’t sling the stone. God didn’t
cause it to hit at just the right spot. It was the skill God gave David
that he had developed.
Like David, God has put in you skill that can slay a
giant. You have skill that can open new doors, skills that can lead to
an abundant life, but the key is that your skill has to be developed.
Every day that you spend growing, learning and improving, you’re getting
prepared for that new level.
Today, while you’re waiting for that new opportunity,
start sharpening your skills. Study your boss. Study your manager. Learn
that position. Be able to step into their shoes. When God sees that you
are prepared, then He can open new doors. The scripture says, “Your
gifts will make room for you.” Keep developing your skills because there
is a giant slayer in you!

|
| A PRAYER FOR TODAY |
| Father, thank You for depositing in me everything that I need for life and godliness. I choose to be faithful with what You have given me. I choose to sharpen my skills. Help me prepare for every opportunity You have for my future in Jesus’ name. Amen. |
| — Joel & Victoria Osteen |
