Gifts That Build Up the Church

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 14:12 So it is with you. Since you are eager to have spiritual gifts, try to excel in gifts that build up the church.

Observation: I really do want spiritual gifts and I need them to honor God with this life He has given me. The gifts he has given me can build up the church if I use them wisely, God gave me the gift of organization and cooking to help with outreaches and functions at the church. He gave me the gift of leadership where I can help with home fellowships and other functions in the church. Each gift and talent I have can be used in the church somewhere.

Application: I know the gifts God has given me, I just need to use them more for God’s glory and not mine. I need to search out areas, especially in the church where I can use these gifts and make myself available to do so.

Prayer: Dear God you are worthy of all my love, obedience, praise and time. Whatever I have is yours, please use this servant to please you and fulfill the purpose you have created me for. Show me how to be strong for you, take this laziness away and guide me through this journey of life.
