"For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you." Romans 12:3 NIV
Are you dedicated to using the gifts God has given you? You might say but I don’t have the faith to use my gifts, that’s not true. Looking at our text verse above God has given (distributed) us the exact amount of faith to use in unfolding our gifts. God has not only given us gifts, but He has also given us the faith needed to use our gifts.
God has given us just the measure of faith necessary to use our gifts. We shouldn’t seek a faith big enough to move mountains until we have a faith big enough to move us. The existence of a gift is a call to exercise it. Eyes are purposeless unless they exercise the function of sight. When we don't exercise our faith, our spiritual life is heading for collapse. Paul advised Timothy, “Do not neglect the spiritual gift within you; Take pains with these things; be absorbed in them, so that your progress may be evident to all”.
Take time out daily to develop your God given abilities. Keep stirring yourself up and stay growing in your faith work.

Declare This: Dear Lord, Your Word is the answer and solution to all I need, therefore, I choose to always use Your Word to develop myself thereby increasing my faith level in Jesus name Amen.
