THE PROSPEROUS WAY

Therefore, you might not consider yourself as useful or talented as some
other person who can jump higher, run faster, sing sweeter, etc. But if
you have identified your God-given talents, developed them as well as
you can, and have used them to the best of your ability, then you must
certainly always know that you are just as valuable in your Master’s eyes.
Be assured that your commendation will also be, “Well done, good and
faithful servant.”

GOD’S WORKMANSHIP

The following Scriptures will help us to grasp how carefully and uniquely
each one of us has been crafted by God, each with his own special
giftings placed within:

• Who then is the man that fears the Lord? He will instruct him in
the way chosen for him. He will spend his days in prosperity.
(Proverbs 25:12 -14)

• Before I formed you in your mother’s womb, I knew you. Before
you were born, I set you apart as a prophet to the nations.
(Jeremiah 1:6)

• It is he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets,
some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers.
(Ephesians 4:11)

• See, THE LORD has chosen Bezalel...and HE has filled him with
the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of
crafts… (Exodus 35:31)

• My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in secret,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes
saw my unformed body; all my days were written in Your book
and ordained for me before one of them came to be.
(Psalm 139:15-16)

• For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do
good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
(Ephesians 2:10)
