Prov. 18:16 A man's gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men.
In ancient times, it was naive to think that you could make your way and stand before the king without first presenting him with a gift, an offering that you had prepared. An effective gift got you noticed. It was your gift that opened the way, "made room" and created an opportunity for you to stand before a great man.
What gift do you have? What offering do you bring? What unique, special ability or talent has God given you to steward, to prepare, develop and present to others? Your gift was planted in you to serve a specific purpose and to fill a particular need. It will make a way for you. It will create opportunities for you. And in God's perfect timing, it will get you noticed by exactly the right people, the "great men", who need what only you have. God has given each one of us a purpose-serving, need-filling, way-making, opportunity-creating and effective gift!
