READ
1 Corinthians 12:4-7
4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. 5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6 There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. 7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.
REFLECT
There are many different kinds of gifts, but only one source. The Holy Spirit bestows the gifts, the Lord Jesus Christ administers the gifts, and the Father God supplies the power and energizes the gifts. Everything of value comes from Him, is contained within Him, and is sustained and upheld by Him. Christ has the highest value! He gives us gifts so we can help each other.
APPLY

SING

Father God, You are the worthiest and most honorable! Nothing has greater value than You Lord! Thank you for Holy Spirit and the gifts you have given to me. Because Your Spirit is part of me, that makes me valuable too. Help me to use my gifts to help others. Teach me to see and encourage others to use their gifts as well.
