Spiritual Gifts #1

For Tuesday, October 17, 2023:

Romans 12:6-8 NLT: “In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.”

Our Father made us all the same; two legs, two arms, two eyes, etc. And yet you can look at a crowd of 1,000 people and no two look exactly the same. The same thing goes for spiritual gifts. We are all “good” at certain things and interested in other things. Again, no two of us are wired exactly the same way. We have been gifted certain specific spiritual talents by our Father in heaven.

Do you know your spiritual gifts? Are you sharing your gifts with your church community? Believers identify their spiritual gifts so they can do their best, most effective work for God. Jesus’ was good at preaching, teaching and healing. When he forgave our sins he healed our souls!
