Gifts for the Common Good Daily Devotional

Reading: 4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord. 6 There are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons. 7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 8 For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10 and to another the effecting of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills.

1 Corinthians 12:4-11

Devotional: God distributes spiritual gifts as He wills, not for our own glory, but for the common good of the body of Christ. Reflect on the gifts you've been given.

Reflection: How are you using them to serve others? Remember, these gifts are "gracelets" from God, meant to be shared freely. Ask God to reveal how you can use your gifts more effectively to build up His church and demonstrate His love to the world.
