Time Spent: 10 min
Main Idea: Use talents in a God-glorifying way
What I Learned about God: God is pleased with those who glorify Him.
Summary: In this short verse, it states that those who exercise their talents have the opportunity to do it towards kings. Understanding that the use of one's talents for good can lead to fame. This is to stress the quality one must put into his/her own work. God had never stated to do your work with idle hands, but rather exhorts the opposite in both the OT and the NT. God wants His children to be adept at the work that they do with their hands.
Application: Christian music, art, and literature may never be "up to snuff" to what's out there outside. That is pretty sad. One of my friend's church emphasizes "excellence in everything", which relates to their praise, worship service, etc. Sometimes we can get by making mistakes because as Christians we are to exercise "grace". However, I wonder at some points when God would rather us strive for the excellence that is seen in this world. I know for a fact that I am not putting my best foot forward. I wish I had time to memorize my sermons so I could do them without the notes, but I fail to spend enough time on them. I look at actors and musicians and everything is so free and flowing without their scripts. I've learned in my pastoral preaching class that that's the freedom in which I should strive for. When school ends, I would love to excel in preaching so that in that way I would be able to glorify God, the true king
