{ DevoRepost: "Skill That Can Slay a Giant" - J. Osteen }

"The right gift at the right time does wonders and gets attention.
It can open up the way to many doors and new opportunities,
helping you gain access to meet influential people,
bringing you before men of importance,
getting you in to see anyone,
and buying the attention of eminent people."


_Proverbs 18:16 // WordRemix: Common Eng, Contempt Eng, Easy to Read, Living Bible, Msg, Voice)

-----

When people hear the story of David and Goliath, sometimes they think, “That was all God.” And yes, in a sense, I know it was God. But the truth is that God didn’t sling the stone. God didn’t cause it to hit at just the right spot. It was the skill God gave David that he had developed.

Like David, God has put in you skill that can slay a giant. You have skill that can open new doors, skills that can lead to an abundant life, but the key is that your skill has to be developed. Every day that you spend growing, learning and improving, you’re getting prepared for that new level.

Today, while you’re waiting for that new opportunity, start sharpening your skills. Study your boss. Study your manager. Learn that position. Be able to step into their shoes. When God sees that you are prepared, then He can open new doors. The scripture says, “Your gifts will make room for you.” Keep developing your skills because there is a giant slayer in you!
