It's not yours anyway

Deserved or not, I've received a few compliments lately about my intelligence. Not that I am overly intelligent, I have done plenty of stupid things to prove otherwise, but I am pretty good with a few things, and, lately, I have used those things to help others.

 GOD has blessed each of us with certain gifts and abilities. Some folks can really sing; how nice that must be. Some are really good at sports; that must be really nice too. But, here's the deal, GOD has given you gifts and talents and abilities too. It may not be basketball or arts but it is something that only you have, and He wants you to use it for Him.

Today's word is Luke 12:48b, NLT, which reads, "...When someone has been given much, much will be required in return; and when someone has been entrusted with much, even more will be required."

Now, this isn't to say that you are expected to make a ton of money and give it back to GOD. We are to tithe on what we make but that isn't the point here. Whatever you have been gifted with, GOD wants you to use for His glory. We do that by helping others with what we have. If you've been gifted with an artistic talent, use it for GOD. If you are a great athlete, use it for GOD. If you are great with money and make a lot, use it for GOD. Whatever you have, use it for GOD.

I am not the best in the world at anything. As a matter of fact, I have a hard time determining if I am even mediocre at anything. However, if I can use whatever I have, I want to be useful. If my limited knowledge can benefit someone, I want to share it with them. Use what you've got; it's not yours anyway.

Be Blessed,
Mickey T
