1Corinthians 12:1. “Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.”
SPIRITUAL THINGS. Spiritual things are hard to explain, Because they are not what is seen to the eye. But spiritual things are more important than sight, For it is in the spiritual things that our strength lies.
We have read of the minds of believers before; It has to do with how my mind thinks. We read of the Spiritual Rock that followed, And the people of God from it drank.
Spiritual meat we discussed at great length, Because what we eat is what makes us fit. Whether manna or water or the way that we think, The spirituals of our life must be met.
When God, by His choice, gave spiritual gifts, It was not that I might in them glory. The gifts given to me make my life-work fit, That through me, others will understand God’s story.
I may not know all God wants me to do, But of this much I am really sure; When God gives us gifts, there’s a work I know, I can do for God’s glory to show.
Not for self or praise does God gift His own; It is for the saints and the body they’re given. For me not to use my gift and stay at home; I’ll lose out when giving an account up in heaven.
“Gracious God, my Father: in Thy wisdom gifts have been dispensed among Thy people. By Thy wisdom may those gifts glorify Thee when they are used in fellowship with Thee. May the gift given to me not be left unstirred, but may it properly function at every possible opportunity. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.”
