God has called us each to minister in some way. What is your calling? Some people struggle with trying to decipher their calling. Begin by considering the talents and gifts God has bestowed you with. God gave you these unique talents for a reason – to serve Him! While we will not all be called to preach from a pulpit, we are all called to serve The Creator faithfully. This may mean volunteering with vacation Bible school or ministering in the nursery or helping teach others how to be good stewards of their finances. No matter what your gifts are, allow God to use them to bring Him glory.
Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.
Now if the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body.
If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. If they were all one part, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
And we pray:
Dear God, I want to live my life serving You and ministering to others, but there are some days when I am unsure how to do it. Give me wisdom to know which unique gifts You have given me and an understanding for how I can use them to minister. LORD give me the confidence and strength I need to serve. Whenever I am ministering, help me to do it unto You and not for my own glory. May Your name and works be glorified through my ministry. Thank You for believing I am worthy to share Your message with others. In Jesus’ name I praise and thank You, Amen.
