Where Vision Begins

Wednesday, December 24, 2025 Print version    PDA version    
James 1:17 'Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights…'

When my dad was growing up in church people of his generation were led to believe that if you couldn't preach, or lead worship, or run some department of the church, you didn't have a ministry. 'Gifted' was a word that was only applied to people who fulfilled a public role in church leadership. The church can and must encourage people to achieve excellence for God's glory wherever they are most talented. We must all learn how to submit our motivations to the Holy Spirit so that they serve his purposes and not ours. Look at what you're good at and start using that skill to share the Lord with others. That's where vision begins.

Prayer: 'Lord, please help me not to waste time trying in some theoretical way to discover my gifts. Help me to get on with using my skills for you!'
