I Seem To Have Misplaced My Spiritual Gift(s)

I continued my reading in Matthew today (I'm slow. I know.) and read the parable of the talents. This one really got me thinking today. Do I use my talents like the first two servants or like the third?

Honestly, I can't answer this question. Why? Because I have no clue what my spiritual gift(s) is(are). I mean no clue. I do know, however, it is not music. I really don't even know what my non-spiritual gifts are. I'm good at a lot of things, but I don't really excel at anything.

Perhaps I should make a belated New Year's resolution to figure out what my gifts are and to invest in them. I most definitely don't want to be a "wicked and lazy servant" of God (Matt. 25:26). I want to be the guy that doubles, triples, quadruples my talents for God. I just have to figure out what they are.

The journey continues . . .
