How do we know God's gifts are given according to His will?

Answered in 1 source

God gives His gifts as He sees fit, according to each person's abilities for His purpose.

In Matthew 25:15, it is clear that God dispenses His gifts according to each individual’s capacity, signifying His sovereign will. The Scripture points out that each servant received talents according to 'his several ability.' This illustrates that God, in His infinite wisdom, knows the capabilities of each person and entrusts them accordingly. Romans 12 reiterates this concept by stating that we are all members of one body with differing gifts, appointed by God's grace for service. The diversity in gifts reflects God's plan for the edification of the Church and the glorification of Christ.
