I have talent


1 Kings 7: 13 King Solomon sent to Tyre and brought Huram, 14 whose mother was a widow from the tribe of Naphtali and whose father was from Tyre and a skilled craftsman in bronze. Huram was filled with wisdom, with understanding and with knowledge to do all kinds of bronze work. He came to King Solomon and did all the work assigned to him.

“You are good with math” is the one tiny statement that spring-boarded my career.  If it wasn’t for that statement, I never would have gone into the career I went into.  Looking back, I wasn’t really “good” with math, but somehow I was able to enter the world of technology. “Somehow.”

  • It is GOD who gives me talent.
  • It is GOD who gives me skills.
  • It is GOD who gives me purpose.


GOD gives each person a unique talent that only they can do. Sometimes it is wasted in the pursuit of money so the talents and skills blend in and look similar, thus competition begins.  GOD sees me as an individual and has granted me an exquisite assignment that only I can accomplish.

I am sent to be at the right place, at the right time to say the right words to the right person. Only I can do this, no one else. All of the situations and circumstances of my life are unique to me and only my words can penetrate the heart of the one person I was put here to communicate with.

God has given me a mission and I shouldn’t waste it.  I have a finite time to be on this earth. I should use some of it to further GOD’s kingdom with the talent HE has bestowed on me.

  • Where do you think your talents come from?
  • Do you feel you are “self-made?”
  • Can you give GOD credit for your skills?
  • If you feel you have no skills then can you ask GOD to show you what your special purpose is?
  • Won’t you stop trying to be special and realize your are special to GOD?

GOD wins!



Revelation 11: 16 And the twenty-four elders, who were seated on their thrones before God, fell on their faces and worshiped God, 17 saying:

“We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty,
the One who is and who was,
because you have taken your great power
and have begun to reign.

18 The nations were angry,
and your wrath has come.
The time has come for judging the dead,
and for rewarding your servants the prophets
and your people who revere your name,
both great and small—
and for destroying those who destroy the earth.”

My head was pounding and I could barely breathe. It seemed like every note sent to me was filled with more bad news. I said to myself “this is going to be a rotten day” and guess what… it was!

  • When I focus on everything bad I forget to look at GOD.
  • When I look at everything wrong I can’t see what is right.
  • When I see everything terrible I lose my direction on where GOD is calling me.


When situations arise I tend to forget GOD has already won! I may think HE is losing because I’m feeling rather beat up but HIS victory is nothing but reward for me.

  • GOD rewards me for revering HIS name.
  • GOD rewards me for recognizing HIS place and HIS power.
  • GOD rewards me for reveling in HIS power.


GOD reigns now! HE always has and will always reign. I mean the situations that I think are catastrophic were known to GOD way before they happened. HE understands and HE loves. I get excited just watching HIS power!

  • Are you stuck?
  • Do you think you have no way out?
  • Can you rely on GOD’s matchless power to be in control of your situation?
