Rom 12:3–8

12:3
For by the grace given to me I say to every one of you not to think more
highly of yourself than you ought to think, but to think with sober
discernment, as God has distributed to each of you a measure of faith.
4
For just as in one body we have many members, and not all the members
serve the same function,
5
so we who are many are one body in Christ, and individually we are members
who belong to one another.
6
And we have different gifts according to the grace given to us. If the
gift is prophecy, that individual must use it in proportion to his faith.
7
If it is service, he must serve; if it is teaching, he must teach;
8
if it is exhortation, he must exhort; if it is contributing, he must do so
with sincerity; if it is leadership, he must do so with diligence; if it is
showing mercy, he must do so with cheerfulness.

One thought:

God’s gifts are to be used with the right motivation and desires.

Three questions:

What word stands out to you in this passage?

Where is God challenging you on your heart as you use your gifts?

Spend a few minutes considered your gifts and how you could serve others with them.

 

Prayer:

Praise God for His grace in choosing us to be a part of His body. Give thanks that by His grace, He has given you gifts to serve others. Pray for yourself + someone else that you would use your gifts for God’s glory, in the way He intended.
