Title
It Is Not Our Talent
Scripture
You see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.(1 Corinthians 1:26)
Devotional
When God calls, He obviously does not necessarily call according to our innate abilities; He more than often calls according to our weakness. There are two things I do that are not natural for me: public speaking and writing. Nevertheless these are the very things He has called me to do. I am most definitely not one of the "Not many." The reason is clear, "that no flesh should glory in His presence."[19] When I speak or as I am writing this devotion, I am the proverbial a duck out of water. Nevertheless, I see my calling. It is a matter of obedient faith, not talent, ability or even giftedness. I think the key is, "not according to the flesh." I think Zechariah may have said it best, "'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' Says the Lord of hosts."[20] Therefore as you seek your calling, do not necessarily look toward you natural abilities, but look toward those areas in your life that give God the glory.Daily Reading
