Discipleship Response
Body Part
Romans 12:5-8
So in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it’s serving, then serve; if it’s teaching, then teach; if it’s to encourage, then give encouragement; if it’s giving, then give generously; if it’s to lead, do it diligently; if it’s to show mercy, do it cheerfully.
~ Apostle Paul
• I am part of the body of Christ, rejoicing that others care for me and glad to show concern for others in Jesus’ name.
Pondering Point
Following up on yesterday's body of Christ devotion, we take time to celebrate the diversity that makes up the body of Jesus. Our different gifts and make-up are a product of the one grace by the one God that we all worship. With that, it’s time for a discipleship response to God’s grace
Review
What gifts has God given you? Don’t settle for your own opinion; ask a few of Christian friends what they see also. Consider taking an online spiritual gift test also such as https://gifts.churchgrowth.org/spiritual-gifts-survey/.
Repent if Necessary
Repent of withholding God’s grace from others by not using your God-given gifts; or of failing to celebrate God’s gracious giftedness in others.
Return as Necessary
1. Go to and greet the God of grace
2. Thank God for His gifts of grace
3. Plan to use your gifts of grace to God’s glory
Prayer for the Day
Lord Jesus, help us to celebrate and carry out our various roles in life as we contribute to the God-glorifying work of Your body Jesus. Amen.
