Brothers and Sisters 😊
📖 In Romans chapter 12 today we see that God has sovereignly assigned unique and specific gifts, talents, and strengths to each of His children in order that we all be unified and work humbly to love one another and advance the Gospel of hope together…
“For as in one (physical) body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function…so we are all one body in Christ, being individual members of His family, and we also have gifts that differ according to the grace that was given to us (vs 4-6).
Q. Have you ever been jealous of someone else’s talents, believing that they have been blessed by God more than you?
Q. Have you ever thought of yourself more highly than you should, because you have been given certain strengths that some others don’t have?
🙏 Heavenly Father please forgive my far too often envy and pride regarding the measure of faith and God-given ability that you have purposely assigned – Help us all to be fully content with exactly how you have made us, according to your perfect wisdom and grace.
🙏 Lord Jesus we praise you today that the good news of your finished work at the cross propels us to love and serve others as we have been loved and served by you – Please empower us to identify and use all that we have (physical, mental, and spiritual gifts) to bring you glory in all that we think, say, and do…
✝️ “I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
Romans 12:1-2
