Did you ever go into the refrigerator looking for that last piece of chocolate cake from your birthday three weeks earlier? Or some turkey from Thanksgiving…the day before Christmas? If you have, you probably found that special treat you wanted stale, covered in something hairy and completely inedible.
Gross, I know, but true.
Something similar happens to us when we try and hide ourselves from God; when we neglect our talents or our gifts by not giving them back to God for His use. Our blessings become stale, sometimes unrecognizable and nearly unusable, when we do not share them with the world by asking God how we can use them to glorify Him.
God has given us each a multitude of blessings from the ability to sing or to dance to the gift of art or sports to the ability to laugh or to love. All of these gifts (and so many more) are blessings from God and it is up to each of us to turn them over to God so that He can make them into sweet treats for this world.
Even if your gift or talent has gotten stale and moldy because you haven’t used it in a while – Give it to God and He will make it into a treasure.
Do you have a gift or a talent that you haven’t used in a while? Go into the very back of your refrigerator and see if there is something which might seem unusable – Ask God to use His touch to make something that is stale, fresh and new and ready to be used to serve His kingdom.
Fun Fact #8:
There is only one food which doesn't spoil: honey.
The key to life – be like honey!

I've always been a homebody, but there's something about a rainy day that's just more special. It's a cozy feeling to curl up on the couch with a good book or to watch a movie, while the rain comes down outside. It freshens the air and renews the world.
ReplyDeleteGod is like that too!
I love your comment Maria! That is so true!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAlex says, Legos and TV are his favorite things to do on a rainy day.
