Money, Time, and Talent Written by Neal Bowes

Saturday

1 Corinthians 12:4-6, 12
⁴ There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. ⁵ There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. ⁶ There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.

¹² Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ.

Most of this week's devos talked about money. The money we have is a gift from God, but we can get into spiritual trouble with it if we become greedy or fail to recognize God as the source of it.

God wants us to use our blessings to be a blessing to others. That could mean anything from putting a portion of our allowance into the offering plate at church to buying something for the annual food drive.

Money is not the only way we have been blessed. We have also been given time and talents. (Many of us have more time than money!) What can we do with time and talent?

How can you use your spare time to serve somebody else? How might change your schedule to free up more time to do this? What talents do you have? How can you use these talents to demonstrate the love of Christ?


If today's devotion spoke to you in a particular way and you feel led to share your thoughts with others, please do so.
