DAILY DEVOTIONS – FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 11, 2020

I Cor. 14:12 (NIV)  …Since you are eager to have spiritual gifts,  try to excel in gifts that build up the church. 

Don’t hold on too tightly to your spiritual gifts—your identity is not based on what you do.  It is based on who you are in Christ Jesus.  And sometimes God takes us way outside our comfort zones because something needs to be done and there is nobody else to do it.  Are you willing to step up and engage,  even when it is not your forte?  And can you open your hands and give God praise when somebody else gets to do the thing that you love doing most?  Is your sense of engagement and satisfaction of more worth to you than the benefit that may come to the church when someone else does it?  Maturity expresses itself in our being able to let go and trust God to accomplish His work in whatever way He sees best.
