We all have a gift that God has given to each one of us, and each are different, so we should use them for the glory of God. God has given us certain gifts in relationships, skills, experiences and attributes that He enables us to use, to fulfil His purpose in our lives.
He used a beauty pageant to position Esther as Queen of Persia and stop the genocide of the Jews. He used Nehemiah’s diligence as a cupbearer to the king to position him for royal favour that would result in rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem. He used David’s musical ability to give him access to the king of Israel. He used Joseph’s imprisonment and gift to be able to interpret dreams to save nations from famine. He used the zeal of someone who persecuted the church of God, known as Saul of Tarsus, and after his conversion known as the apostle Paul, to spread the gospel to the gentiles through his missionary journeys while writing half of the New Testament.
If God can use all these people, He can surely use us. If we are willing to be obedient to Him. Yes God wants to use us, there are no exceptions. How does that quote go about ‘God not always calling the qualified, but aways qualifying the called.’ In fact, He’s cultivating talents within us that will serve His Kingdom purposes in ways we are unaware of right now. It may be our God given athletic abilities, or our musical talents, or it may be our creative genius, it may be our idiosyncrasies, or it could just be our good old fashioned work ethic. Whatever talents and abilities we may have, God uses them to give us a platform to give Him ALL the Praise. No matter what it is, it’s a gift from God that is to be used for His Glory.
Success is doing what we can with what we have, when we can, where we are. It’s not based on circumstances, wealth, power or platform potential, it’s stewarding every opportunity in every way, every day.
So today, let’s use what God has given us.

We were created to bring glory to God, and to do that God has given us all gifting's and talents and as the blog says, He will qualify us to do what He's called us to do. Whatever situation we're in, know it's because He's put us there to make a difference, and given us what we need to make that difference. We just have to take the step of faith that those named in this article did. Great blog, be blessed.
