When you succeed, who gets the applause?
We all have talents. Whether you are a gifted teacher, a skilled musician, or a brilliant organizer, it is natural to feel a sense of pride when those abilities shine. But there is a crucial question we must ask ourselves in the spotlight of success: is this gift drawing attention to me, or is it pointing people back to the Giver?
In this grounding video, “Glorifying God,” we tackle the delicate balance of developing our talents without developing an ego. It is not wrong to be skilled—God made you that way! But the ultimate goal of every ability we possess is to act as a mirror, reflecting His greatness rather than our own.
In this wisdom-filled teaching, we discover:
- The Source of Talent: A reminder that every skill we have is a direct deposit from the Creator.
- Deflecting the Credit: Learning the art of humility by ensuring the praise for our work goes to God.
- Purposeful Excellence: Striving to be the best we can be, not for our fame, but for His renown.
My friend, exercise your gifts with all your might. But when the applause comes, make sure you know exactly where to direct it.
