One of the keys to success is to recognize your strengths – that is your God given abilities – and build on them. Many of us are tempted to focus on our weaknesses in order to improve in those areas where we are less gifted. As a result, we fail to maximize our areas of giftedness and limit our effectiveness. We also experience a diminishing return. Instead of renewing us, our work exhausts us.

“‘What you are doing is not good. You and these people who come to you will only wear yourselves out.’”

— Exodus 18:17-18

Lord Jesus, help us to focus on our strengths and not our weaknesses that we may accomplish all You have called us to do. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
