The Bible characters stumbled over their strong points, never their weak ones. Every good thing we have comes from God. He gives us some “natural” talents and they become a source of pride for us. We begin to believe that accomplishments using those talents are ours. That’s pride and a fall can not be far away. God is most glorified when he uses us in a area in which we have no “natural” talent. We hear of his servants who are afraid to speak in public. He calls them to preach and many are brought to Christ.
It is not necessary that our “natural” talents be unusable by God. If we will keep our perspective and recognize we do no good think on our own, he can use us though the gifts He gave us at birth and the gifts He bestows on us as needed.
Lord, keep us humble. It’s the only way we can be useful to you and we want to be used. We want to bless as you have blessed us.
