Gifts For Serving!
"When He ascended on high,
he…gave gifts to his people."
Ephesians 4: 8
A wife asked her husband to set the dinner table.
Inspired by their pastor’s recent sermon, he said,
“Sorry, that’s not my spiritual gift.” She then asked
what his gift was. “Eating,” he said, to which she
replied, “If you want to exercise your spiritual gift,
you’d better set the table!”
We all have a spiritual
gift. Romans 12:6 says,
“We have different gifts, according to the grace
given to each of us”. A spiritual gift is a special
ability to do certain works for God with power
and with pleasure.
It’s His way of enabling us to serve
Him.
The best way to discover your gift is by
asking yourself what you most enjoy
doing in the service of the Lord.
Jesus gives spiritual gifts to each one of us
when we are saved. Someone said that our
talent and ability is God’s gift to us and what
we do with it is our gift to Him.
Pray today for God to show you
how you can best use your gifts
to serve Him in humility.
"God distributes His gifts for
His purposes and for the
good of His
people."
