In the final devotional of this series on the Holy Spirit, we're going to look at what God's word has to say about the gifts of the Spirit.

God has called and equipped each of us uniquely and importantly to co-labor with Him.

I pray that God will reveal to you

how He's wired and gifted you in the Spirit today,

that you would find joy and deeper relationship with him

and walking out your unique calling on the earth.

Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed.

1 Corinthians 12.1.

Paul's heart for the Corinthians and 1 Corinthians 12.1 is God's heart for you and me today.

Scripture says, now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed.

Within the church today are defenders of multiple positions on spiritual gifts, each as staunch

as the other. But God's desire for you and me is that we would be informed directly from him about the spiritual gifts of this loving Holy Spirit who dwells within us.

God longs for us to receive all He has to give.

He longs to teach us receive all he has to give.

He longs to teach us about the Holy Spirit's work in our lives that we might live with greater

purpose and affections for Him and others.

Let's surrender our hearts and minds to God on spiritual gifts, and let's seek out every

last bit of what God has planned for us today.

The first aspect of spiritual gifts to note is that they are indeed a gift.

1 Corinthians 12, 4 through 11 says,

Now there are varieties of gifts but the same spirit, and there are varieties of gifts, but the same spirit,

and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord.
