What Are Your Gifts?

As you evaluate the past year and plan for the next, here is something to think about.

Bezalel was a young man who was “filled with the Spirit of God:
*in wisdom and ability
*in understanding and intelligence
*in knowledge in all kinds of craftsmanship,
to:
*devise skillful works,
*work in gold,
*work in silver,
*work in bronze,
*cut stones for settings,
*carve wood,
*work in all kinds of craftsmanship.”

Aholiab was “appointed wisdom and ability to make all that I have commanded you:
*The Tent of Meeting
*The ark of the Testimony
*The mercy seat
*All the furnishings of the tent
*The table of showbread and its utensils
*The pure lamp stand with its utensils
*The altar of incense
*The altar of burnt offering and its utensils
*The laver and its base
*Finely worked garments for Aaron and his sons
*Anointing oil
*Incense of sweet spices for the Holy Place.”

We often think gifts from God are only spiritual or just for use in the church.
Some are.
But I personally believe God gives gifts or specific abilities to everyone.

The wisest man who ever lived (and one of my future Best Friends) said, “…as for every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, (that’s everyone in America, by the way), He has also empowered him to
A. eat from them
B. receive his reward
C. rejoice in his labor

This is the gift of God.” (Ecclesiastes 5:19)

To me, that means:
1. The God who designed you built specific gifts into you so you can provide for yourself and those you are responsible to care for at the time. (Have you ever noticed how we often end up taking care of those who initially took care of us?)

2. Your gifts bless you with earthly rewards. (After all, everyone works better when there is some kind of prize at the end of the competition.)

3. Using your gift correctly also gives you a good feeling deep inside when you do a job well that helps others.

The problem I see is that generic education often fails to help each of us identify our natural gifts so we can get specific education and become the best we can be doing what comes to us naturally.

Don’t let that stop you from discovering your gifts.

Keep searching and learn to be like Bezalel and Aholiab from Exodus 31 so that you can serve the Lord in the way He designed you to.

Until you discover your gifts, your purpose and your assignment, you can’t help but be continually frustrated. Some men even die in discontentment.

Henry David Thoreau (another one of my future Best Friends) said, “Most men lead lives of quiet desperation, and go to the grave with the song still in them.”

Don’t do it.

Find out who you are and get educated so you can incorporate your gift to serve those around you (and God) better.

Decide to make 2008 the year you quit being frustrated.

Live by the words of Sir Winston Churchill: “We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.”

So many books, so little time...
Rhea!
who hopes you have a wonderful 2008!
