Everyone has a talent. Whether it’s playing an instrument, building certain things, or being great at cooking, everyone has something they’re good at.
God designed each of us with different likes and dislikes.
This is what makes us unique. Because of our outlooks on different things, we are usually good at different things. This is what makes unity among us.
When we are good at different things, we can use those talents to help others.
You may choose to use your talent for your profession. While others may chose to use their talents for hobbies or something they may do on the side.
Whatever your talent is and how you chose to use it is up to you. But you should be using your talent to bring God glory.
In Exodus 35:22-29, the Israelites use what they have and what they’re good at to bring glory to God:
“So they came, both men and women. All who were of a willing heart brought brooches and earrings and signet rings and armlets, all sorts of gold objects, every man dedicating an offering of gold to the LORD. And every one who possessed blue or purple or scarlet yarns or fine linen or goats’ hair or tanned rams’ skins or goatskins brought it as the LORD’s contribution. And every one who possessed acacia wood of any use in the work brought it. And every skillful woman spun with her hands, and they all brought what they had spun in blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen. All the women whose hearts stirred them to use their skill spun the goats’ hair. And the leaders brought onyx stones to be set, for the ephod and for the breastpiece, and spices and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense. All the men and women, the people of Israel, whose heart moved them to bring anything for the work that the LORD had commanded by Moses to be done brought it as a freewill offering to the LORD.”
These people used their talents and skills to serve God.
In verse 26, it says that the women’s hearts were stirred. They listened to God and what He would have them to do for Him.
When it comes to our own lives, we can forget to listen to God and what He would have us do for Him. We must stop and listen to what He is urging us to do with our skills and talents.
We each have something to offer. Even if you may not know what your talent is yet, you are still skillful at something. Listen to the Lord and ask Him to lead you to finding your talents and using them for His glory.
In His amazing love,
