Great Variety of Gifts

Scripture:
10 Each of you has received a gift to use to serve others. Be good servants of God’s various gifts of grace. 11 Anyone who speaks should speak words from God. Anyone who serves should serve with the strength God gives so that in everything God will be praised through Jesus Christ. Power and glory belong to him forever and ever. Amen. (1 Peter 4:10-11 NCV)
Observation:
I am always so glad to see the word ‘each’ when it is in God’s Word. God has so many gifts to give to us his children, but he wants us to use them faithfully to serve others. We serve with the strength that God gives us. Then it is in everything God will be praised.
Application:
Always a good reminder and I receive it today.
Prayer:
Lord, thank you that you are such a good and faithful God. I am an ‘each’ and that means you have given me gifts; let me use them to serve others. AMEN
I am happy today because I have put my trust in the Lord All-Powerful. He gives me kindness and honor. Thank you, Father. Psalm 84:11-12
