Talent Show

God has blessed everyone with some kind of talent. Whether is be singing, speaking, leading, a form of art, serving, and so much more. We are to use these talents to glorify God, because he blessed us with the talent.

As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies-in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. 

1 Peter 4:10-11

These verses say just that. If you have a beautiful voice to sing with, thank God. Don't take credit for it, or be cocky. God can easily take that beautiful voice away. I think there are many people that want the credit and the applause for what they do when really God should be the one get a standing ovation. We are to glorify Him, as 1 Peter 4:10 said "EACH has received a gift" that means everyone. I just realized what my gift was not too long ago, I knew God had a spot for me in the talent show, and I knew it wasn't to sing or speak, it was to write and create a blog, to help and encourage others. Each post that I post comes from Him, He narrows down the topics in my head, He gives me the words to write, and He gives me the confidence to do it.

If you haven't found your spot in the talent show, don't worry, God had a plan for you, he already knows your talent he's just making sure it's the right time before He tells you, just pray His Will be done. Here is a list I came up with of talents you could do: singing, speaking, forming a group at church or home, being a prayer warrior, teaching children, serving at local shelters, writing, sending cards, calling people to encourage them, cooking, art, cleaning, and so much more! Whatever your talent is, give thanks to God because he blessed you with it, and he chose it perfect for you! Be confident and know that the talent you are doing is glorifying God, He is proud of you, don't let others get you down. 

Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does act of mercy, with cheerfulness. 

Roman 12:6-8
