Divine Moments and Gifts:  Embracing God’s Timing

Today, I want to continue a thought about Monday’s moment that I shared yesterday.

Have you ever thought that what you do, where you do it, the relationships you have, and the moments that present themselves can all work together and even be “divine, pre-ordained moments?  I have, and I do believe it. 

As a Christ follower I believe that God has given gifts to each of us that can be used to build up each other and the church.  (I Cor.  12: 4-7)

I believe we are called to continue to grow our gifts and be excellent in what we do for the glory of God and to let those talents be used by him, in His divine timing. 

Several years ago I sang at a funeral towards the end of my tenure at a school I was serving.  After the service the wife of the man who had passed away said “God brought you here, and kept you here for this moment”. 

Wow!  Humbling.  Powerful.  Thought provoking.  Could it be that I wasn’t there for the work, the championships, or the experience? 

Was I brought there to that church, with that small group, and develop those relationships to minister to the family in their time of need? Everything prepared and working together for that one moment?

Monday’s sharing of a writing that I wrote last week?  Yes, it fit into the book, but did I have those thoughts, write those words, with that scripture passage just for the book? 

Did God know that they would be needed to be shared with someone as an encouragement a few days later?  He certainly can, and He did. 

Every talent and gift that you have is just that.  A gift.  A gift to be used for good, and if you commit to using it for God it is amazing what He will do with it, and the time that He will use it. 

Continue to develop and fine tune your gifts, then let them be used in moments that are divine and ordained by God. 

God often shows up in the small moments and he wants us to be available and do so as well. 

Be Blessed and Be A Blessing.
