There are several talent type shows out there right now. There is The Voice, American Idol and X Factor to name a few. One thing that makes AGT different is the variety of acts that come on, While many of these shows highlight just singing or just one talent, this show is a mixture of talents. So the competition includes dancers and acrobats and magicians and comedians and dog acts and yes, singers too. The mix is interesting and that is probably why it is popular. And not just in America. Shows in this format have become popular in countries throughout the world.
So we all have talents. I know a lot of interesting facts that I am willing to share, I am pretty handy with a spreadsheet and I can assume that since you are still reading this, my writing skills are at least passable. And while I have some talents, like most people, they don't translate well onto the Las Vegas stage. So there probably won't be a show where I format cells on Excel during the first act and discuss atomic structure in the second. I could tell you about the third act, but I would hate to spoil the surprise.
Fortunately, if we want a life of significance and purpose, we only need one talent. We need to be willing. When we seek to follow the will of God opportunities will arise that make use of our talents or we will grow and discover new talents in new places. All it takes to get on board is to seek God's Will for your life and to allow the Holy Spirit to influence and guide you as you follow that will.
Seeking God's will and allowing the Holy Spirit to guide our lives may seem like a massive first step. Trusting in God, like so many things, is a talent. It is a talent that can grow as we practice it and ask God for His help. It may not be an act for the Vegas stage, but it will definitely impact those around us.
