All Good Gifts Are From The Lord

Jam. 1:17

God created us with variety of talents. Talents can be natural, (those with which we were born), or acquired (those we learnt). Some people are naturally blessed with the ability to sing and it shows in them from their childhood. Some others learned musical skills and they are good at it.  The fact remains that no one can create talents and gifts. Whether you were born with talents or you acquired them through learning and development, the fact remains that you cannot create them. In fact, you can only improve on what is already in existence. Those who acquired good skills through learning and development should bear it in mind that they are only building and improving on the deposits of God in their lives. Gifts are given to men by the Holy Spirit. The gifts are owned, controlled and distributed by the Holy Spirit. All good and perfect gifts are from the Lord, you own nothing.

POINT OF EMPHASIS: You cannot create talents and gifts; you can only improve upon them.

PRAYER POINT: Lord, help me to always remember that all gifts are from You. Help me to always acknowledge You as the source of all good gifts in Jesus’ name.
