📜 TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: Romans 12:3-8
3 For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. 4 For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function,5 so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. 6 Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; 7 if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; 8 the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the morning mindset. It's time for us to get our minds aligned with the |
| 0:08.7 | truth of God. I just love how that rolls off the tongue. Get our minds aligned with the truth of God. That's |
| 0:15.1 | what we're doing. That's our responsibility every day because God has given us the |
| 0:19.9 | gift of today to use for his benefit, for his glory, and to bring others to a |
| 0:26.6 | knowledge of him through the things that we do. And some of what we do is |
| 0:31.2 | achieved in the world through the way God has gifted us. |
| 0:35.3 | And we've been talking about that in Romans chapter 12 and Paul is talking about each one of |
| 0:40.5 | us having gifts that differ according to the grace that God has given us. |
| 0:44.5 | This is in Romans 12 verse 6 and he's going to give us a list of gifts as potential gifts that we might have |
| 0:52.1 | and this list is by no means exhaustive. |
| 0:54.6 | There are many other gifts besides these. But he's using these as an example to |
| 0:58.7 | show us that in whatever circumstance we find ourselves in terms of the gifts and the gift mix that we might have, |
| 1:06.5 | we are to use them in ways that are appropriate to those gifts. So he gives some examples in verse 7. He says if your gift is |
| 1:15.5 | service then you should use it in your serving. Now that sounds pretty obvious but |
| 1:20.8 | basically he's saying if you have a gift of service where you are |
| 1:23.9 | very good at serving people then get busy serving people. He says if the one who |
| 1:30.7 | teaches should do so in his teaching I mean he should use it in proportion |
| 1:35.1 | to his faith. He should believe God has given me this gift and I need to get |
| 1:39.5 | busy using it and believe he's going to use it. To the one who exhorts, he should use his faith |
| 1:46.0 | in his exhortation, to the one who contributes, he should do so with generosity, to the |
| 1:51.0 | one who leads, he should do it with zeal, and to the one who leads he should do it with zeal and to the one who does acts of mercy |
| 1:56.2 | he should do it with cheerfulness and you see what Paul is saying I'm going to go back and read |
