Serving
1 Corinthians 12:7(CEV)
7The Spirit has given each of us a special way of serving others.
1 Corinthians 12:4-7(TMSG)
4God’s various gifts are handed out everywhere; but they all originate in God’s Spirit.
5God’s various ministries are carried out everywhere; but they all originate in God’s Spirit.
6God’s various expressions of power are in action everywhere; but God himself is behind it all.
7Each person is given something to do that shows who God is: Everyone gets in on it, everyone benefits. All kinds of things are handed out by the Spirit, and to all kinds of people!
It takes all of us to get the job done. We hear alot today about coaching, teams or teamwork. Some think its a new term, but we used to call the same things mentoring or disciplining. they are all the same thing we just use different words to describe actions. Whether we call it coaching or disciplining its the same and we all do in some fashion or another. The Spirit of God gives out the ability to get things done. All through chapter 12 it talks about gifts how to use etc.. the theme is that we all have a gift or a part to do. Whether you are the lead or the follower if we are doing our part as unto God its then same. If I'm speaking or parking cars, it's just as important to getting the job done. We sometimes put more value on a certain task but the bottom line is if nobody can park and get into the function then the speaker is of no use.Remember we all are part of the whole team the baseball team is no good without a pitcher likewise is the football with the quarterback. It takes us all!!! So today whether your being served or serving others do it as unto God. he is the one who gave you the ability in the first place. be a blessing< Sir Gregory
