1 Corinthians 12:4-7 There are different kinds of spiritual gifts,
but the same Spirit is the source of them all. There are different kinds of
service, but we serve the same Lord. God works in different ways, but it is the
same God who does the work in all of us. A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we
can help each other.
An actor in an interview this morning was asked if he played
football as a child. He said he tried it
briefly but quickly gave it up. He
explained, “Some people are born to play the game and some people are born to
watch.” I thought about a ball game. All
the action is not on the field. Players
and coaches and trainers make the game happen, but the organization also needs
spectators and food vendors and ushers and security and cleaning staff. Each
has his or her on part in the overall experience. In God’s service we need preachers and
congregation members. We need those able
to go out and serve the community and we need those able to serve through their
prayers and financial support. Sometimes we have numerous roles, but each one
is important. When we each use our gifts
and we put the variety of gifts, together all are benefitted.
Heavenly God, thank you for the different gifts and talents
we have. Help us to each use our gifts
to your glory and for the good of others.
We ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Have a blessed weekend,
Paige
