Ez. 47, 48; Daniel 1

NOTE: When you don’t receive one of my morning devos, it’s because I had a bad night. Please say a prayer for me. Thanks. -Dean

Daniel was “Gifted by God.” 

One of my greatest joys when working at Trinity Christian School was observing the gift of God in students. Some can sing, some can do math, some can act or play an instrument, some can run faster and jump higher. You get my drift. Now, what they do with the gift is up to them. This is where parents and mentors come in. First we identify the gift, wisely tell them about it, and then groom and protect it.

Parents, if they are strong willed and abrasive, don’t give up. God my be grooming them to lead an army or become a successful trial attorney. Maybe they will have children JUST LIKE THEM and reap what they’ve sown.
