Day 23---Spiritual Gifts

Day 23---Spiritual Gifts
Read: 1 Corinthians 12:4-11; Hebrews 2:4

Have you ever wondered... What spiritual gifts God has given you? How you can use them?

Since God is the giver, he chooses what gifts to give each person. He selects from his infinite pool of talents and blessings and chooses something appropriate for you. Every gift is good. You can't walk away slighted. It's up to you to discover what gifts he's placed in your heart and to use them.
Perhaps you wonder why God gives special gifts. In a "fair" economy, every person would receive the same gifts, in the same measure, at the same time. But God's economy operates differently. To some, he gives the gift of teaching. To others, he gives the gift of hospitality. These are very different gifts, right? God's family needs all of the gifts in order to function smoothly. We are dependent upon each other.
Study Romans 12:3-8 and ask God which gifts he has given you. Ask your family, friends, pastor, and yourself. Consider your talents and your passions, and pray that God would show you how he wants you to serve the family. Then snatch up your prize and use it for God.

We all have different gifts, each of which came because of the grace God gave us (Romans 12:6A).
