Today's scripture: 1 Corinthians 12:4-11
If you believe in the God of the Bible, have accepted salvation through the
sacrificial death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and have committed
your life to God—Father, Son, and Spirit—you are part of the body of Christ.
God has gifted you uniquely to serve Him and His people in a way no one else
can. In several places in the New Testament, spiritual gifts are mentioned,
both implicitly and explicitly. Today’s verses list several gifts, including
wisdom, knowledge, faith, and healing.
Yes, knowing the different kinds of gifts God gives is very important. Even
more importantly, we need to know what gifts God has given each of us—and use
them.
Most important of all, thought, we need to remember that, as many gifts as
there are, there is one Spirit, one God who gives these gifts. And “one and the
same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just
as He wills.”
If you don’t know how you’ve been uniquely gifted, ask the Spirit to reveal
your gift to you. Seek counsel from godly men or women. Find a program that
will help to assess your strengths.
Once you’ve determined your gift, use it to glorify God and serve His people.
