What we don't realize is that such a person poured countless hours of study and practice. Lots and lots of practice. There are some people who have a special talent and learning does come relatively easy for them.
Sometimes we get discouraged when looking at all the talented people all around us and we wonder, "where is my talent?" The Lord has blessed each of us with some kind of talent. It may not seem grand on the scale of other people's talents, but it is our talent to use. We may not be a great singer or a great piano player, but we can bring a smile to a friend in need.
We make not be able to play a guitar like Jimmy Hendrix, but we can bring a meal to an elderly person who can't leave their home because of lack of mobility. The Lord has given each one of His followers something that we are good at and we can use whatever that talent may be to further His Kingdom and share the love of Jesus with those all around us.
The Lord will enable us and empower us to do the things He wants us to accomplish for His glory. Sometimes we get so caught up in comparing ourselves with others that we forget that God has given us something special to do for Him by serving others in the love of Jesus Christ.
We shouldn't be comparing ourselves with others. We shouldn't be envious about other people's talents. We need to serve the Lord with the gifts and strengths that He has blessed us with for His glory, honor, and praise.
Whatever talent that the Lord has blessed us with whether big or small let us use it to draw others to the Lord.
Lord,
You are Holy and Just in Your Judgments.
We praise Your Name.
Help us to use our talents to bring You glory.
Help us not to compare ourselves with others.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
