 We all have different gifts … because of the grace God gave us. Romans 12:6

Learn to recognize your dominant gift and build your life around it. Otherwise, you’ll end up living with regret.

David sensed that he was more than a shepherd or a singer. He was a leader-in-the-making. Killing Goliath just gave him a chance to demonstrate it. Had he failed to seize the moment, he’d probably have gone back to tending sheep.

What blinds us to our dominant gifts?

 Your word have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin. Psalm 119:11

Ever hear of a pitcher plant?

It attracts insects with its bright colors. Once inside, the insects lose their footing and slide down a sugarcoated tube into a liquid that drowns them.

Satan does that too. He sugarcoats the way to ruin and before you know it, you’re hooked.

“But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control …” (Galatians 5:22). How do we get these character qualities? God does not one day zap us. There is a process.

God has a part and we have a part in the process. In a physical workout you develop or tone the muscles God has given you. Paul urges us to cultivate our spiritual lives. God provides the power.
