Father, help me to develop the talents You have given me. Show me to how to continue growing, stretching and increasing. Help me to maximize what Youâve placed in my hand as I daily give You glory for Your faithfulness in my life in Jesusâ name. Amen. âThat you may walk (live and conduct yourselves) in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him and desiring to please Him in all things, bearing fruit in every good work and steadily growing and increasing in and by the knowledge of God [with fuller, deeper, and clearer insight, acquaintance, and recognition].â (Colossians 1:10, AMP) Too many people suffer from âdestination disease.â In other words, theyâve reached a certain level or obtained a goal, now theyâre coasting in life off of what theyâve already learned. Studies tell us that 50% of people, after they graduate from high school, will never read an entire book the rest of their life. One reason is that people see learning as a period of life instead of a way of life. They think, âIâm out of school. Iâm done with my training. Iâve got my job.â But, God never created us to reach one level and stop. Whether youâre 90 years old or 9 years old, you should be constantly learning, improving your skills, and getting better at what you do. The key is that you have to take responsibility for your growth. Growth is not automatic. What steps are you taking to get better? Are you reading books? Listening to teaching CDâs? Are you taking any courses on the internet? Going to any seminars? Do you have any mentors? Donât just coast through life relying on what youâve already learned. You have treasure on the inside. Develop your talent and become all that God created you to be.
