Ion and Socrates

I recently read a conversation about Ion and Socrates. In this conversation they talked about the arts. Now Ion was a reciter for Homer. He thought himself to be the best reciter in the world and that his gift came from within himself. But Socrates asked him do you recite other piotes. He replied no. So Socrates asked why is this for all the other poites right about the same things do they not. Ion replied that what he said was true, but all the other poites bore him and are not as good as Homer. So Socrates asked him If you are the best reciter in the world surly your inner ability to recite should unable you to credit them to. I think not Ion replied. Well then your ability to right these things is not from you,but from God. And God has inspired Homer with his talents to reflect truths. And you get your inspiration to credit Homer for these things from God. In the end Ion was humbled to find this was true. I think we as people need to realize that these amazing talents of ours are sent from God and we need to use them to reflect God and the truths of God.
