Use Your Voice Bible in a Year : Psalms 6–8; 1 Corinthians 10:19–33 There are different kinds of gifts, but the Spirit distributes them. 1 Corinthians :4 1 Corinthians :1– I was invited meet a world-renowned pianist. Since I grew up immersed in music—playing the violin and piano, and primarily singing solos for church and other events—I was thrilled at the opportunity. When I arrived meet the pianist, I realized he spoke little English; and my surprise he provided a cello for me —an instrument I’d never touched. He insisted that I and he would accompany me. I screeched a few notes, trying mimic my violin training. Finally admitting that I was lost, we parted ways. I awoke, realizing the scenario had been a dream. But since the musical background presented in my dream was true, in my mind lingered the words, Why didn’t you tell him you could sing? God equips us develop our natural talents and our spiritual gifts for others (1 Corinthians .7). Through prayerful reading of the Bible and the wise advice of others, we can better understand the spiritual gift (or gifts) that is uniquely ours. The apostle Paul reminds us that whatever our spiritual gift, we’re take time find it and use it, knowing that the Spirit distributes the gifts “just as he determines” (v. ). Let’s use the “voices” the Holy Spirit has given us honor God and serve other believers in Jesus. Reflect & Pray What’s your spiritual “voice,” and how can you use it today? Why is it wrong to want others’ spiritual gifts? Father, show me how You’ve gifted me and how I’m to use those gifts for others.

I am aware of my spiritual gifts, but find it hard to define my natural ones. I often say I have no talents, even though I know everyone does have some. I'm a bit envious of those who have talent to create beautiful things with their hands. But then again, a talent is only good if a person uses it, and that takes dedication. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

My Spiritual Walk is a gift in itself. More is revealed. I can't sing but I can dance. Abracadabra
