North Kern Christian School

Welcome!

As a body of believers, we are called upon to be constantly in prayer (I Thess. 5:17). These weekly notes will list different prayer items that I hope you will remember as you spend time in prayer each day. There are always more prayer items than listed, but we ask that you give special attention to these! Pray that we all finish up the school year strong!

Devotion I Peter 4:10 talks about the gifts from God. This verse goes on to point out that we have the responsibility to use these gifts to serve others. Although a lot of people use various excuses to wiggle out of using their gifts to serve others, the Bible actually points out that we are ACCOUNTABLE for how we use what God has given us! God REQUIRES us to use them to help others when and where we can. We are stewards of these gifts, and how we use them DOES matter! They have been given to us to build up His family here on earth! Remember the parable of the three men who received different amounts of talents from their master? Back then, “talents” meant a kind of money, but the term was appropriate, because now it means God-given abilities. The two men that worked to grow their “talents” pleased their master, but the one who hid his and saved it for the master’s return was rebuked, and his talents were taken away from him! This should be a wake-up call to those of us who are hiding our talents under a basket. Don’t waste the gifts God has given you. Use them for the good of others, and ultimately, for the glory of God.
