Matthew 7:11
If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!
One of the (many) stumbling blocks in my walk with the Lord has to do with the gifts that He gives me. He gives me some amazing gifts! The problem begins when I forget the fact that He gave them to me!
Here's an example. The Lord blessed me with a pretty amazing gift of discernment. However, when I turn that focus on others in the form of judgment...then we've got trouble!
The antidote to misuse of God's gifts is to keep in mind the Giver. It's hard to abuse a gift when our eyes are focused on God!
Praise God for all His gifts!
