What’s My Talent?

Does God give me talents and abilities for a reason?

God’s Response

Then the LORD said to Moses, “Look, I have specifically chosen Bezalel son of Uri, grandson of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. I have filled him with the Spirit of God, giving him great wisdom, ability, and expertise in all kinds of crafts. He is a master craftsman, expert in working with gold, silver, and bronze. He is skilled in engraving and mounting gemstones and in carving wood. He is a master at every craft!” Exodus 31:1-5

Your talents and abilities are not random or accidental; they are part of the way that God has uniquely designed you. God gave Bezalel talent as a craftsman and commissioned him to create beautiful objects for the Tabernacle. God does his work on earth through people, so he gives each person special gifts and talents. Every ability you have is useful to God, so use each one for him. What talents has God given you? These abilities may become your full-time job, or they may simply be hobbies. Either way, God can use them to accomplish his purposes. It is exciting and deeply satisfying to do the things you enjoy for God’s service.

This Is Promising

God works in different ways, but it is the same God who does the work in all of us. 1 Corinthians 12:6
