God rarely takes long to put our divine gifts to work! If God put something in your hand, He expects for you to use it. God gave Solomon his wisdom. Soon after, Solomon faced a situation that would call upon that divine equipping.
The gifts of God are never merely for our own personal use. Whether it is a job, a house, wealth, health, air miles, or leadership ability, if God grants something to you, He has a purpose for it. To hoard our divine gifts is to rob others and to reject God’s activity in our life.
A word of warning: God may have a different use for your gifts than you expected! It is doubtful that king Solomon requested wisdom so he could better mediate disputes between harlots! He probably was thinking of international diplomacy or the national economy. He could hardly have imagined that the first test of his newly minted wisdom would be to determine which prostitute was lying. But that was what he was called to do.
Don’t presume on how you will put to use what God has granted you. He may have granted you leadership skills, but what you are called to lead next might not be anything like you imagined! That’s OK. With the divine gift will inevitably also come the divine assignment.
