Your Gift will make room for you

DAILY INSPIRATION
“Your Gift will make room for you”
Let’s take a look at Proverbs 18:16 – It says, “A person’s gift makes room for them and brings them before great people”
During Bible times, it was a common practice to bring a precious gift whenever you came to see a King, a Prophet or some other great person of renown. Also, great men and women would seek you out, when you were known to have a special gift. Sharing a gift or sharing YOUR gift is a wonderful practice of honor; and it is one of the many ways that we show our appreciation to the greatest King of all time; Jesus Christ. With that being said, the most valuable gift that you could ever give to God is the gift of YOURSELF. Here is the flow and the order of things: First, God blesses you with a gift; Second, you present that gift back to God through worship; Third, God gives you the grace to serve and bless others with your gift. For example: If God gave you the gift of singing; you would first worship Him and in the process, God would open the door for others to be blessed by your gift of song.
The amazing thing, is that; your gift will give you access that your intellect can’t give you. Your gift will give you access that your position or status can’t give you. There are even times that your gift will give you access that your wallet can’t give you. Simply put, your gift will make room for you! This is so important to remember; because at times, we will be tempted to try and make room for ourselves. Let’s be real; there are times when we tried to sneak through the WINDOW of an opportunity; instead of allowing God to open the DOOR of blessing. Don’t force yourself into the presence of great situations or great people; but use your gift to the fullest and they will come looking for you. Remember this: Never rush to be in front of a lot of people; because your waiting period, is your preparation period. It’s a time for God to shape you and prepare you; so that your character is on par with your gift.
I encourage you to humbly serve in the shadows and allow God to bring you into the light. It is my hope and my prayer that you would passionately serve God by serving other people with the beautiful gift that He has given you. God bless you and have a wonderful day.
