Dedicated Service
1Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. 2And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
3For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith. 4For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function, 5so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. 6Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to exercise them accordingly: if prophecy, according to the proportion of his faith; 7if service, in his serving; or he who teaches, in his teaching; 8or he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
All Christians make up one body with different members of that body. We were blessed with different skills, i.e. different ministries for His service. What skills were you blessed with? What ministry were you called to serve in?
Have you taken a spiritual gift survey?
Here is an online survey you can take.
There will be times you are serving and something comes up and you will say; oh no I can't do that! But God confounds the strong with the weak! He will guide and strengthen you and fit you according to His purpose.
All you have to do is allow Him to use you.
Will you allow Him to use you today?
Blessings, David
