Streams of Joy Devotional (Tuesday July 23)

"And unto one he gave five talents, to another two,and to another one,to every man according to his several ability... And I was afraid,and went hid thy talent in the earth: and lo there thou hast that is thine. And cast Ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth".(Matthew 25 vs 15,25,30). That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional Today.

Today's Focal Scripture reveals that the Master who had three servants distributed talents to his servants according to their abilities. That implies that the servant who got five talents had the highest abilities,while the servant who got one had the least abilities. So, the least rated servant was the one who engaged in the misadventure of hiding his talent. The most deficient servant was the one who failed his servant.

A close observation of this servant's(the one with the one talent) slothfulness and his unwarranted excuse for not trading with his talent gives us an idea about his personality. This obviously could have been the reason why his ability was weak and low rated.

Friend, hear this, Every deficiency that decreases you has the potential of totally destroying your destiny. Every deficiency in your character has the ability to stifle your growth and elevation.

If you are deficient in your career,just know that it could keep you at a spot longer than necessary;If there are malpractices you are engaged in as an entrepreneur,it could stifle your enterprise. If there are weaknesses you have as a spouse or as a parent,it could destroy your marriage or your children etc.

The servant had the least abilities,got the least talent;finally his destiny ended abruptly. The same thing that made his ability weak,eventually destroyed him.

Pray with me,"Lord,help me to discard every character flaw that wants to diminish my ability and eventually destroy me in Jesus name".

Have an Awesome Tuesday!
