Psalm 76:11 Make vows to the LORD your God and fulfill them; let all the neighboring lands bring gifts to the One to be feared.
I read a story that was about a very bashful young man who was hesitant about demonstrating his affection for his sweetheart.
"Oh, but that I were an octopus," he said one night, "that I might wrap all eight arms around you."
His impatient sweetheart replied, "Don't worry about having eight arms. Just make better use of the two arms you already have." That is what we must do in doing the work of Jesus Christ.
We shouldn't worry about weather or not we have the gifts to follow. We simply need to use what gifts we have to follow Christ and to do God's will.
