Gift Rap - 1 Corinthians 4:7 For what gives you the right to make such a judgment? What do you have that God hasnt given you? And if everything you have is from God, why boast as though it were not a gift? NLT God has uniquely gifted you in special ways because He has special things for you to do. Enjoy the calling God has gifted you with, but be careful where your eyes wander. It can be easy to begin coveting anothers gifts. Be careful of that, my friend. When we get wrapped up in envy, we can neglect our own calling, thus pridefully telling God that He gave us the wrong gifts. Ask yourself, on who does pride misplace your reliance? Pride is a dangerous thing, and it has wrecked many a man despite the best intentions. Romans 12:3 Because of the privilege and authority God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Dont think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us. NLT So, how do you explore your gifts? You wont unearth much sitting on your couch. Jump in and serve others! Through serving, you will begin to identify those things God has equipped you to do. As you use your gifts, you will discover and develop skills you didnt know you had. Gifted musicians spend hours practicing; the more you use your gifts the more gifted you become. Are you faithfully using your gifts?
