A Precious Treasure 💝
All these [gifts, achievements, abilities] are inspired and brought to pass by one and the same [Holy] Spirit, Who apportions to each person individually [exactly] as He chooses
1 Corinthians 12:11 (AMPC)
THOUGHT
In 2 Corinthians 4:7, Paul says, "We possess this precious treasure (the divine Light of the Gospel) in (frail, human) vessels of earth, that the grandeur and exceeding greatness of the power may be shown to be from God and not from ourselves."
God uses frail (flawed) people, to proclaim the power of His gospel.
He could send angels to preach the gospel, but He uses plain, ordinary, everyday people to demonstrate His power.
He fills us with divine gifts, inspired and brought to pass by the Holy Spirit, and distributes them throughout His body of believers.
Let us network with God's people today for the greater good, as we work together to accomplish His purpose
PRAYER
Heavenly Father,
Help me to surrender my life to You and use the gifts and graces with which I have been blessed, with wisdom, and for Your greater glory.
Thank You, that I am part of the wider Body of Christ. Thank You, that we are being fitted together as Your holy dwelling place.
I pray that together we may learn to use our spiritual gifts for the benefit of the whole Body, and rejoice that we are One in Christ, through time and into eternity.
In Jesus name I pray,
AMEN.
