We all need to acknowledge that our talents and skills are a gift from God. Refining and honing those skills are our job, but the initial dose is His to distribute as He sees fit. How He sorts them out is a mystery to us all and I'm sure most of us have questioned His fairness from time to time.
I know I have. I have had the privilege of playing with many very talented musicians over the years and have often questioned God as to why they were better than I was. Some of my buds just had this inborn ability to play with such skill that I just grew jealous over time. I tried not to question God and His seemingly lack of fairness but I did.
Of course, I am musically talented. I am the only member of my family that even plays an instrument and I'm not sure if any of them could ever sing very well. If they could, they didn't. I've also been told by other people that I'm very talented and I know that's true. It's true because compared to them I am very talented. It's all relative.
So, I am thankful that God has given me the talent He has. I can sing, play guitar, write and dance (ok, I can't dance). Thank You God for my talent.
