God's gifts and His
call can never be withdrawn. Romans 11:29
Well, Alicia and I finally have taken the step over the line
from being ‘cool’ to being the proud owners of a family mini-van! We are really enjoying our new family vehicle
and one of the greatest features is the built-in DVD player that came complete with
wireless headphones for the boys to enjoy.
This allows mommy and daddy to listen to our music instead the audio
from movies like ‘Cars, ‘Toy Story’ or ‘Wreck It Ralph.’ We have vowed not to utilize the DVD feature
unless on a family trip, so our oldest son was mad at me for not letting him
watch a movie the other day on our five minute drive over to Turkey Creek. He was
so mad that he demanded that his last name be changed to something else other
than 'Fisher.'
It's pretty humorous, but God's call on our lives is much
like our family name; even when you feel dishonored by your family, you still
keep your family name.
The exact same principle holds true for our spiritual gifts,
which are given to all believers upon accepting Jesus Christ as their personal
Lord and Savior. Because we are children
of God, we are given special gifts and are expected to use them to perform
certain tasks for Him. Sometimes, we
squander away our time and we don't use our gifts to bring glory to God and
expand His kingdom on earth. Regardless,
God does not take the gifts away from us; we just miss out on all of the good
and blessings God has in store for us.
Every day that you greet the morning, you are given another
opportunity to use your Spiritual gifts to live out God's will for your
life-don't waste another day!!
