1 Peter 4:10 “ God has given gifts to each of you from his great
variety of spiritual gifts. Manage them
well so that God’s generosity can flow through you.”
Do you know what gift or
gifts God has given you? Are you using
it for his glory?
As a child, I loved to sing
in front of an audience. I was sure my
gift was singing. When I married, I
forgot about singing because I thought I was too busy with my family, although
I always sang to the children and still had a burning desire to sing for others.
Years later I began leading worship in a
small church which I found very satisfying and enjoyable but after five years,
this situation ended on an unpleasant
note. I felt abandoned and useless as a
singer and stopped singing. My brother
who is a professional musician encouraged me to sing, just to sing, even if
only for myself. I began singing and the
Lord has opened several venues for me to use my gift. Now I sing unto the Lord and he blesses
me.
For a time I placed my God given
talent under a “bush” but when I began to exercise it again, God started using
it for his glory. I believe he will
continue to bless me as I use the gift he entrusted me with.
Dear Lord,
thank you for giving us gifts that we can use for you. Help me to recognize my gifts and use them
for your honour and glory. Help me not
to push them down and bury them but to be blatant and look for opportunities to
use them. May you be blessed by seeing
me use your creation to it’s fullest. In Jesus name. Amen
