In the book of 1st Timothy 1:12, the Apostle Paul wrote: Neglect not the gift that is in thee....
This morning, what I want to share with you is the fact that God places talents in every person upon the earth. The talent to play baseball, the talent to become a mechanical engineer, doctors, lawyers, business managers, players of musical instruments, writers of books and poetry, nurses, ministers, college professors, truck drivers, brick masons, chefs, and on and on and on.
God has placed in you the talent to do something that is natural for you to do. This talent, or gift from God, is written in your DNA. And God wants you to know your talent and for you to do something with it that is good.
What is this talent that you have? You will know it and you probably know it now. You have been thinking about doing something for a long time, perhaps from the time when you were a child. Such thought is not an accident. And this talent you have is something you do not have to work at, for it comes natural for you to do.
What your talent needs, however, is proper education and training in order for you to take your talent to levels of achievement that will astound you. Paul said do not neclect it. Do not let it go to waste. Do not keep it a prisoner in your own mind. Therefore, recognize your talent, go to work with it, and doors of opportunity will open for you to display your talent in ways you never expected. Unlock this talent that is in you and set it free!
Let me share with you, too, is that the first step you take is to pray to God for help. Just as I began my journey in golf as well as writing this blog in prayer, God has enabled me to make achievements that I never expected. For God knows you and me better than we know ourselves.
As it is written, Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him: and he shall bring it to pass. (Psalm 37:4,5).
This is a promise from God, which He will fulfill in you.
