RESTORATION TODAY
TUESDAY, JUNE 16, 2020.
TOPIC: *USE YOUR GIFTS*
"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1:7.
*MESSAGE*
God has given us all gifts and skills, but what are we doing with them? Maybe we're using them already, or maybe there are some that we've put to one side. Fear can make us hide our talents and abilities. But we're supposed to use them, for God's glory. Paul told Timothy: "Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. For God hath not" (2 Timothy 1:6-7).
We need to develop our gifts, and we can only do that by practicing rather than hiding them away. God expects us to make the most of what He gives us, to grow our character and personality, and broaden our experiences so we will become more and more effective in His Kingdom. Don't be afraid. Put your gifts and abilities to work and they'll become enlarge and developed through practice.
No one reaches full development all at once. So we have to take advantage of every opportunity to develop and sharpen our skills. Remember, in heaven we're going to serve God forever, and we prepare by practising here on earth. Indeed, using our gifts and skills can be challenging. But God has given them to us for a reason, and we need to be stepping out and using them to bring Him glory and to lead other people closer to Him.
