November 12, 2021: SOAP #4362:  Job 37, 38; 1Corinthians 12

SCRIPTURE:  1Corinthians (NIV) 12:1 Now about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant. 4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6 There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men. 7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good….
11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines….
27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.

OBSERVATION:  To manifest is to take what is hidden and make it seeable.  The working of God is to be expressed in each one!  The Presence of God is to be seeable in each believer.  Through the gifts of the Holy Spirit in each person, God is made seeable. 

APPLICATION:  The gifts are expressed through me, but not because of my abilities.  They are expressions of the One living inside me!   They enable me to be a blessing to others. 

PRAYER: Lord, I know that you are living inside me.  I want others to see proof of Your Presence.  Make your Presence known through me.  Use me for your glory.  Amen.
