Gifts (Talents) Are Not Your Calling
Bible Study God gives every believer gifts, but those gifts are not the calling itself—they are tools meant to serve the calling. Scripture shows that while gifts are diverse and present throughout a person’s life, the calling is the God-ordained purpose those gifts advance. Like the craftsmen who built what Moses was called to lead, or Joseph whose lifelong administrative skill and ability to interpret dreams positioned him to preserve Israel, gifts consistently showed up in daily responsibilities long before the calling was fully revealed. Joseph faithfully used his gifts in every season—at home, in slavery, and in prison—without fully understanding where God was leading, yet God directed each step. The lesson is not to confuse skill with destiny: use what God has given you wherever you are, trust Him with the timing, and allow faithful obedience in the present to lead you clearly into your calling when the time is right. __________ Romans 12:3–8 NLT, Exodus 31:1–6 NLT, Genesis 37:5–7 NLT, Genesis 39:2–6 NLT, Genesis 37:2 NLT, Genesis 39:21–23 NLT, Genesis 40:1–4 NLT, Genesis 40:12–13 NLT, Genesis 40:18–22 NLT, Genesis 41:25–27 NLT, Genesis 41:32 NLT, Genesis 41:33–37 NLT, Genesis 41:39–41 NLT, Genesis 42:6–9 NLT, Genesis 45:5–8 NLT __________ Partner with Us: Connect with Us: Leave a Comment: __________
