Discover Your Strengths

And all the wise-hearted men among them that wrought the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, with cherubim, the work of the skillful workman. Exodus 36:8 God has given each of us abilities that we can use to fulfill our God-given dreams. Certainly training is important, but we won’t get too far if we rely only on training. All of us know people who received lots of training, but they don’t have much competence for their jobs. They grind out work day-after-day, gritting their teeth until Friday afternoon and dread Monday mornings. Don’t focus on your weaknesses, focus on your strengths. When your work responsibilities fit your God-given abilities, you’re in the jet stream of accomplishment. You’re far more creative, more energetic, more relaxed, and more willing to help others who need a hand. Some of us have been caught in dead-end jobs for years, and we’ve lost hope of ever finding something that fulfills us. Certainly God can take us through valleys from time-to-time to teach us important lessons, but life need not be a perpetual valley. We cannot be passive. We need to take initiative to uncover out latent talents and use them all our hearts. It’s not optional. Someday we will stand before God to give an account of our time here on earth. On that day, He will ask us how we used the talents that he gave us. I want to hear Him say, “Well done – good and faithful servant.” What are the activities and responsibilities that rev your engine? What do you need to do to refine your career so that your job fits your God-given talents? I’d love to talk to you personally.
