My family sat down last night to watch America’s Got Talent. It was amusing to watch. Some of the acts that took the stage really did have some talent – and some . . . not so much. But as we watched, I thought about the practical truth that could be gleaned from this show.
Truth 1: The Bible says, as believers, we are all given gifts and talents that should be used for the building of God’s Kingdom. Everyone of us has a place in God’s strategy to positively impact our world.
Truth 2: Not all of us have the same gifts and talents. That is why it takes us all – working together.
Truth 3: It is important to come to terms with the gifts we possess and also accept the fact that we just don’t have some gifts. Not all people have the ability to sing (as was shown on the show last night!). But that does not mean that they are not gifted in other areas. In order for us to work together as efficiently as possible, we need to be comfortable with our gifts and talents and be willing to use them for God’s glory.
Truth 4: I am so glad we don’t have to take a stage on national television to prove our talents. Just put them to use in your local church!

Be a blessing today!
