Talent usually refers to a natural aptitude or skill in a particular area. God has given us all gifts and talents. The Word declares it in James 1:7, that every good and perfect gift comes from above. However, not all gifts equate to being chosen for a specific task. There is a process that one must go through and a series of tests that one must pass before being chosen for a particular work.
The bible mentions Aaron's ability to speak well; however, speaking well did not mean that he was to be the leader of the Israelites. God knew all about Moses' weaknesses, yet God still chose him to be the leader. Moses was predestined, called and justified to be the leader of the Israelites. Aaron had the talent to speak well but his heart was not like Moses. Aaron proved that he was not the leader of the Israelites by succumbing to the pressure of the people to participate in idolatry while Moses was away in the presence of God. He also murmured and complained, just like the Israelite people. When Moses chose a Ku!@#!e wife, Aaron spoke against him and was chastened by God for it. The Lord had to let Aaron know who was the true chosen leader.

Thank you so much Paula for your insights on talent vs being chosen by God. It is so true that Moses was called by God from birth and Aaron was used to help and support Moses through speaking to help him accomplish what God had chosen Moses to do. Moses was chosen as he had gone through the process to help lead the Israelites out of Egypt.Posted Monday, August 19, 2024 by Vanessa HowellThank you so much Paula for your insights on talent vs being chosen by God.
