A MAN’S GIFT MAKES ROOM FOR HIM

A MAN’S GIFT MAKES ROOM FOR HIM

 Proverbs 18:16  “A man’s gift makes room for him and brings him before great men.”  

NKJV says this about this verse: “Gift makes room:  This gift is not a bribe, but an asset or talent which opens the way. “ 

Whether your talent or gift is singing, preaching, making money, teaching, computers, administrion, and even sports, God wants to use your ability as a platform for Him.  When we dedicate our abilities to God and trust His leadership with our lives, we will stand before “great men.”   This means to honor and respect those whom God has placed in authority over you, and He will allow your gift to be noticed.   “Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.”  Ps. 37:3 

No man can keep you from becoming what God has called you to be.  There may be times when the devil tells you that no one will ever notice your capabilities, but God knows and will put you with people who will see your potential.   He will use your gifts as a platform to bring Him honor and glory. 

It starts with you.  Are you willing to submit and honor those who are in authority and trust God to allow them to utilize your gifts?  Let your passion be for God, and concentrate on doing your best, and He will cause you to have your heart’s desires.
