Daily Devotions

If you know anything about God you know He doesn’t act in a haphazard manner – He plans. And just as He strategically formed creation according to Genesis 1 & 2, He designed you carefully and gave you everything needed to carry out a specific purpose. Peter said it this way in 1 Peter 1:3, “According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue.”
The Lord does this, not only to bless others and glorify His name, but to help you feel accepted, needed, and worthwhile by making you an integral part of His work.
So what did God have in mind when He created you – when He planned your purpose and gave you spiritual gifts? Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 12:7, “But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.”
One thing is certain – if you ask Him, He’ll not only tell you, but He will reveal the place where He wants you to serve.
So honor your heavenly Father by surrendering yourself to His perfect plan for your life and exercising your gifts in the service of other believers. It was the path you were created for and how you’ll experience the depth of His joy, peace, and fulfillment in your life.
Prayer thought: “Father, thank You for the gifts You’ve given me and the wonderful and perfect plan You have for my life. Help me serve You faithfully throughout my life, amen”
For today, exercise the gifts He has given you.
