Proverbs 18-A man’s gifts makes room for him and brings him before the great

Proverbs 18:16 says, "a man’s gift makes room for him and brings him before the great."

Don't think your gifts won't position you around great people and wonderful places. You read that scripture right -- your gifts will indeed make room for all you want to be, all your want to do, and all you want to be around. Yes, all you have to do is continue to work on yourself and your gifts, then the flood gates will eventually open for you in God's timing. Here's the key though; We have to use our gifts or we will lose them.

When I was in the Air Force, we had 30 days of leave or vacation we were supposed to take every year. We could mix those days any way we wanted to, but when the end of the year came, if we didn't use them, we would lose them. It's the same with our gifts. If we are going to sit on them and do nothing when we can be using them to expand God's kingdom and get His message out, then why would He use us when someone else is willing to use their gifts? You understand? Exactly. Use your gifts, because your gifts will make room for you and bring you before great people. Believe that.

Click to listen to today's podcast episode. When it comes to next level greatness, we have to know that applies to us, not just everyone else. Do you know what God has for you? Do you?

You are the only one with your DNA -- none of us. is the same Yet, even when we're feeling down, discouraged, and out, those emotions are only temporary. None of us has it all together. Sometimes I procrastinate and put things off when I know I should be doing better. Yet, I am not as diligent and disciplined as I can be sometimes.

Protecting My Peace - Day 95 - We Have to Stop Giving Away Our Power

Click to listen to today's podcast episode. Are you giving away your power? Are you letting people take control over our lives? If so, it’s time to stop operating like that. If we’re letting anyone influence us to the point that it’s causing us emotional pain or taking our peace, we have to move away from such people. It doesn’t matter if it’s in a personal or professional environment. Stay positive and productive in the process though, because dealing with challenges are part of the life process. Nevertheless, we can “fight” for our right for peace and respect. We just fight smart and continue to know who we are, especially who we are in Christ Jesus.
