Sorry a day late with my blog this week!
A note to all who are used to getting my blogs every Friday and Sunday, I have decided to continue to just write on Fridays from now on and perhaps I will surprise you every now and again with a testimony on Sunday but for now I am going to give the ‘Sermon Recaps’ a rest. I may come back to writing them but for now until the Fall I will not be blogging on Sundays.
Reading: 1 Corinthians 14:1-25
Honestly the thing I got the most out of this chapter was in the first verse.
“Pursue love, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy.”
We’ve talked in previous blogs about spiritual gifts and how some people really struggle in this area while others seem to know their calling. I think that when you earnestly desire something like this God does reveal a way. I mentioned in a previous blog about how it’s usually through something you are good at or enjoy doing that God will show you a way to be a blessing.
I was thinking about a quote I heard in a movie and it was said like this, “Give your kids enough to do something, but not nothing.” I wonder if God looks down at me when He is wondering how much to bless me and considers what I’ll with it. Does He consider how I will use my earthly talents and blessings to help others and give back to Him?
Lately as you know if you’ve been following my blog I have been convicted to continue to use my ability to play harp to bless others at my local hospital. I wonder if God considered that when He blessed me with my harp and my talent to play. Will I use my ability to play the harp to bless others?
I actually dropped off my paperwork this week and will get a call for an interview in a few weeks to volunteer at my local hospital. It’s going to be a huge opportunity and a commitment to bless others one on one for a few hours a week.
Lets all think and meditate how we can use something we have or are talented at to be a blessing.
What will you do with your blessing? Keep it? Share it? Save it? Waste it? Use it?
Let me know how I can pray for you to bless others.
In the clay,
