How To Work It Out!
"The Lord will work out his plans
for my life for
your faithful love,
O Lord, endures forever."
Psalm 138: 8
What are spiritual gifts, you
ask?
They're simply aspects of the work
of Jesus Christ that the Holy Spirit
wants to empower you to do.
Henry Blackaby wrote, “Everyone who
believes God’s good news of salvation and
commits his life to Jesus Christ will receive
the same Holy Spirit who indwelt the Son of
God. The Holy Spirit is the gift. He
Himself
is the indispensable gift of God to your life.”
When Apostle Paul told us to “work out”
our salvation with “fear and trembling” in
Philippians 2:12, he was thinking, in part,
of our spiritual gifts. The Holy Spirit
works
in us the life of Jesus Christ, and we must
work out what the Spirit is working
into us.
How important it is to do our best to
use our gifts actively and diligently
for the glory of God.
How does the Lord want to use you today?
Thank Him in advance as you work out
your
spiritual gifts for His glory.
"If you do not walk in the Spirit, you do not
have a
spiritual gift. Apart from the Spirit,
whatever “gifts” we display can only be our
natural talents, drawing attention to self."
