With Bootcamp starting next week, I wanted to share a little something to think about to get us ready for a rocking good time!!!! Enjoy!
Skill & Ability
Our ability to work, earn a degree and make money comes from God. Our ability to paint, sing, play a musical instrument and execute a deal, they all come from God. He calls us and He equips us to carry out His will for our lives. Where He call; He equips. And yes, if you do not use the God-given abilities you have, you could lose them.
You could lose them because of poor stewardship or a bad testimony. You could lose your skills because of atrophy. Just as a muscle shrinks and becomes useless without use; so do the skills, abilites, gifts and knowledge given to us by God. How are you doing in the managment of your God-given abilities? His expectations are for you to continue to grow and improve. He wants you to focus on the things you do the very best.
Position your life to do the one thing that you have become a genius at doing by God's grace!!!
This requires discipline and in some cases sacrifice, but trust God with who you are. Serve out of your sweet spot, so you and everyone around you will be blessed. Yes, there are economic considerations, but each stage of life has its own opporutnities. Stay nimble and seize each opportunity in the context of what you do best, and never forget to give God the credit for your abilities.
"Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying of my hands." 2 Timothy 1:6 NKJV
