Time | Talent | Treasure

In our Reveal series we have discussed that God reveals himself to our church through us a worship team. God also reveals himself directly to our church while His people lift up His name. And last, God reveals himself as we walk with him daily.

Today I want to bring our attention to God’s revelation of His will. We often get caught up in seeking God’s will for our lives. When actually our focus should be to just seek God’s will. Once we see His will then we line up our lives in accordance to His will.

The looming question is how does God reveal His will. He is always revealing His will. We’re just not always looking for it. So we need to place ourselves in an environment where we can see God revealing His will and where He is working. Once we see that we join Him.

There are three environments in which if we settle we can see God working. Those areas involve serving God with our time, talent and treasure.

Have you ever heard the phrase? “Time is more important than money.” There have been many situations in which I believed this statement. Because of the value placed on time I believe God chooses to reveal his ways while we spend our precious time serving Him. If you want to see God revealing His will then spend some time serving Him.

God has created each of us with gifts and abilities in which to bring Him glory and to serve and grow the body of Christ. Some of us wait on God to show us how to use our talents when God is actually waiting on us to use their talent. As we use our talents God shows where He is working. God has a vision for the use of our talents. We can’t bury them and wait for God. He wants us to experience God working while we are using our talents.

God’s word states, “Where your treasure is there your heart also will be.” (Matt. 6:21) If we have a heart to know God’s will and where His is working then we need to put our money where are heart is. If we don’t serve God with our treasure then we truly don’t care to know where God is working. The more we understand that our money belongs to Him the more God will choose to reveal His will.
