Different Gifts

Scripture:

4 Now there are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but it is the same Holy Spirit who is the source of them all. 5 There are different kinds of service in the church, but it is the same Lord we are serving. 6 There are different ways God works in our lives, but it is the same God who does the work through all of us. 7 A spiritual gift is given to each of us as a means of helping the entire church. (1 Corinthians 12:4-7 NLT)

What are spiritual gifts all about? It is quite simple really; they are a means of our helping each other. But there are the different spiritual gifts, different kinds of service, and different ways that God works in us and uses us. We are foolish if we try to make it all work our way, or work in the same way every time, and with every person.

Lord, this is a reminder lesson for me today. I am Your child, and the gifts You have given me are to be used to serve others, and I am to use them in the way that You have designed me to use them. Thank You that you do use me, and thank You for the gifts that You have given me. You are my God, and I love You. AMEN

Lord, when I am discouraged or sad, I will put my hope You my God and Savior. I will praise You again and always. Psalm 42
