Inventions

Have you ever looked at a situation and thought of some invention that would make the situation better? Or, have you been doing something and someone makes a suggestion or gives you a tool to make the task easier and the end result better?

God does this for us. He gives us a task to do, knowing full well that we can’t do the task well in our own abilities. So He gifts us with the ability and wisdom to do the task better. Without this gifting from God, we wouldn’t be able to do the good that He designed for us to do and we sure wouldn’t be able to glorify Him with our efforts.

In Matthew 25, Jesus tells the story of a master who gave servants gifts to use in their work. He says to the servants who used these gifts wisely, “Well done, good and faithful servant. you have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.” God expects us to faithfully use the gifts that He has given us to do good and to bear fruit for His glory. When we faithfully use His gifts, we are surrounded by His joy.
