Bible Verses:
Psalm 92:1
Matthew 25:14-30
Colossians 3:23
We all want to hear positive feedback like "good job" from our bosses, colleagues, or teachers. But are we seeking human approval over God’s approval?
Let’s look at Matthew 25:14-30, the parable of the talents, to see the importance of using one's abilities for God's glory.
The parable teaches that God has given each person unique abilities and talents to be good stewards of. There is temptation to compare oneself to others. However, it’s of utmost importance to use the gifts we have been given for God's glory. We do everything as unto the Lord, not for human approval. (Colossians 3:23)
