1 CORINTHIANS 12:4-6

There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.

TO PONDER

The Holy Spirit works in and through the lives of Christians by means of spiritual gifts for building God's kingdom. In Scripture, we see that there are many spiritual gifts, such as wisdom, knowledge, service, craftsmanship, teaching, and more. No one receives all the gifts, and everyone has at least one. The Spirit gives all these gifts for the common good, so that everyone may work together as the church, the body of Christ, in this world. Everyone has the gift of service and should use their gift for God's glory and for building God's kingdom. Focus on what you can do and use that gift for God! 

PRAYER: O God who has gifted me, fill me with an eager desire to use my gifts in service to you and for the good of your people.
