In this chapter Kraeuter references scripture to remind us that God has given us all gifts. He emphasis that despite our possession of these gifts, we still need to do work ourselves to develop them to their full potential. He suggests going to seminars or taking courses to further our musical knowledge and abilities. Being well educated and wise in our gifts will allow us to serve the church and honor God significant ways.
I believe that God has given me multiple gifts that I need to utilize. I am good at talking to people, public speaking and playing music. In order to further develop my ability to talk to people, I should continue to do so and maybe take a psychology class. To work out n public speaking, I can attend workshops and practice at church and in class. Finally, to get better at playing instruments or singing, I need to practice, practice, and practice. Through all this, I will pray to God and I know that he will push me in the direction he needs me to go to fully take advantage of the gifts he has given me.
I loved how you applied this chapter to your life. I loved that you talked about how as worship leaders we are also gifted in other then areas besides music. I loved that you said we had to work on our gifts, but God will guide us. You had a lot of great insight!
