Understand Your Gift 

In the world of so many skills and talents we might easily underestimate what God entrusted us with. So often when we look at our lives, everything seems so mundane. We are so used to who we are and what our lives are like that we might miss God's goal for our lives.

We might be surprised by the wonderful purpose we have been created for. In Romans, Paul clearly states that who God is can be understood from His creation. The very word Paul uses for God's creation in that verse is only used in one other place in the Bible.

In his letter to the church in Ephesus, Paul says that we are God's handiwork or workmanship. And this is the exact word Paul uses when he first said that God's invisible qualities could be understood from His workmanship. 

This is about all of God's qualities, which He wants you to be an expression of, as each of us is in ministry. The greatest ministry God prepared for us is to show people who He is. And it doesn't really matter if you feel that what you do doesn't feel like a ministry. You might work in tech or arts. You might be an educator or work with productions in your church. Think about it: everything you do and most importantly who you are can show others what God is like so that they have no excuse to admit they never knew.

ACTION: Make a list of everything you think you are good at and ask the Holy Spirit to show you how each of those unique skills can help people know God.
