I love watching the “hummers” hover around our flowers, but I’m never fast enough to get a good photo.đ Enter my friend, Gary Fultz, hummingbird-picture-taker extraordinaire! Gary has some wonderful nature shots on the free photo sharing site, Unsplash. You can check them out here. If you use some of his pics on your blog you can even leave him a tip via PayPal.
What’s so fascinating about hummingbirds is how God expertly crafted them to do one thing REALLY well. When it comes to acrobatic nectar gathering, nothing tops these little green guys! They excel at what they were made to do.
And you and me? What did God uniquely gift each of us to do? Every now and again we have our âHummingbird Momentsââwhen weâre reminded of our God-given purpose.
A few weeks ago I got to sing in the chorus for a concert version of the musical Oklahoma! During the rousing final number, the audience rose to their feet as they clapped along. And at that moment, singing second tenor at the top of my lungs, I realized anew, âThis is what I was born to do!â
Enough about me. How has God uniquely gifted you? What were YOU born to do?
Sometimes it helps to condense your life purpose into a handful of words; make a six word story that sums up you. Hereâs mine: Teaches children, helps and encourages people. Oops, I said enough about me.âşď¸
Please give it a try! Iâd love to hear your six words. Share in the comments, if youâd like.
If you are uniquely gifted in your work, you will rise and be promoted. You won’t be held back–you’ll stand before kings.
Proverbs 22:29 (TPT)
A person’s gift opens doors for him and brings him before the great.
Proverbs 18:16 (CSB)
