1 Corinthians 1: 5-6- That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
If you are worthy to have the same Spirit that delivers your testimony, then you can be enriched by Him with divine teaching and knowledge.
I don't think we realize the divine help we receive from God in its entirety. I have to remember to count my blessings in times of doubt and trial. But even when I do, I imagine there are countless times that God blessed me when I didn't even realize it. Elder David Bednar from the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles once said, "How often do we ask God to allow us to make it to our destination safely, and then never thank Him for it." This was a huge reality check for me, because I couldn't remember the last time that I had told him thanks for something like that. However, it is true. Even the very air we breath is a blessing from God in every breathe.
In this passage of scripture, we learn from the epistle that Paul wrote to the Corinthians that in every thing we are enriched by God. Every skill, learning, and blessing comes from the supreme God that created us, but this does not necessarily mean that we don't abuse them. Some gifted people that sing may use their talent to draw people away from the Being who gave him or her that talent. Surely, God only asks us to bless His kingdom and recognize Him for the blessing allocated. I love my Heavenly Father for the blessings, talents, and hidden blessings that He has given me. I am grateful for the leaders in my life that have helped me change on the path of discipleship. I know these things are true by the Holy Spirit of God. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen
