Four Surefire Ways to Discover Your Talents

by Blaine Bartel | Articles, Christian Living

Proverbs 18:16 NKJV says, “A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men.” The discovery and implementation of your gifts and talents will bring you the success your heart desires.

Here are four ways to uncover your talents:

  1. Ask those you know and trust what they see as your greatest faults.
  2. Pray and ask God to reveal your gifts and talents to you. Jeremiah 33:3 promises that if we call on God, He will show us hidden things which we don’t know about.
  3. Follow your heart’s desires, and try new things. The results may surprise you.
  4. Be faithful in little things you’re asked to do, even if they aren’t on your list of favorites. God tells us that if we are faithful in small things, we will be rulers over much. (Matt. 25:23).
