1Co 7:17 But as God
hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him
walk
Rom 12:3 For I
say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to
think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly,
according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
Rom 12:4 For
as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same
office:
Rom 12:5 So
we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of
another.
Rom 12:6
Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether
prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
Rom 12:7 Or
ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on
teaching;
Rom 12:8 Or he
that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity;
he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
All of us have gifts
from God, from the greatest to the least. What man may perceive and being the
greatest gift, isn't necessarily what God perceives to be the greatest. Jesus
said this--
Mat 23:11 But
he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
Mat 23:12 And
whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself
shall be exalted.
Jesus talked of
people here- people who want to be in the position of being great thinking they
are above others. Truthfully it is those who serve, those who aren't striving
for greatness who are Christ's. We shouldn't strive to have the greatest gifts,
but strive to be as God would have us be in the capacity He has supplied for
us.
1Co 7:17 But as God
hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him
walk
We cannot look at
any other and believe we should be like they are, do the things they do, live
as they live. We cannot judge others according to their walk with the
Lord. We are called to be the LORD's and
EVERY MAN is distributed certain ways of walking with the LORD. We are not all
given the same walk, we are given our individual walks. God does not want us
walking another's walk. God wants us to accept what He has given to us. If
you're called to be a pastor, a teacher, a prophet, or a loving mother, a
caring father, a good tent maker, a wonderful laborer, whatever your walk- walk
in the LORD, loving the LORD. May God help us all walk as He has called us to
walk.
All through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior now and forever!
