1 Corinthians chapter 12 verse 4 (NIV)
There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them.
1 Corinthians chapter 12 verse 11 (NIV)
All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.
We all have practical gifts as well as spiritual ones. Paul tells us the Holy Spirit distributes the gifts to each as He determines.
We also need to remember that it is He who decides who to use and move through. Our Spiritual gift may be quite different from our “practical” or “natural” gift. Just because we may have a good singing voice, doesn’t mean that God will use us to lead in worship.
Conversely we may not feel we are good at public speaking, but God may use us to teach or speak. He takes us out of our comfort zone and makes us rely on Him instead of ourselves.
Dear Lord,
Thank You for giving us the gifts that You choose that will glorify You. Help me to be obedient in exercising the gifts that You have given me, even if it takes me out of my comfort zone. I ask in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
