I took a long walk with a friend on Sunday. We were both encouraging each other, talking about our next moves, our heart desires, etc. As we were speaking about life it dropped, two names or instances from the Bible: David and the disciples.
We spoke about them not chasing prosperity, fame, or wealth; instead, it came to them. David was sought and anointed as King by Samuel and the disciples by Jesus. Why? What came as a reasonable answer at that moment was that they perfected their talents. David was a shepherd boy and was passionate about leading, defending, strategy, and calm etc.
Each of the disciples had a trade they perfected. It then occurred to us that to attract more favour and our desired responsibilities, we have to first perfect our talent. Perfect what we are good at and love. Be passionate and do our best by becoming the best. Notable people like Einstein didn’t set out to be one of the greatest physicists; he started by trying to solve a problem by grew to be the best in his field.
However, what will it be like perfecting a talent that is not just meant for us? Do you think we will be satisfied?
I think taking long walks sometimes is good for akin minds. Like the bible says Iron sharpens iron. Let us think about this – perfecting your talent.
