As I was sitting here, pondering what to write in today’s devotion, I looked up and saw the Seventh Day Baptist Week of Prayer guide entitled, “How God Empowers his Church” (2007). One way that God empowers his church is by giving each of us different gifts, interests, and talents. Those unique qualities equip each of us to do certain things in the work of the kingdom. If we were all put together the same way, many “jobs” would be left undone. As members of our local churches, we need to willingly put those gifts and talents to work for the bettering of the church community. In the big picture, we need to be an active part in the body of Christ. As we all work together, we are blessed by the unity we have in Christ, and others can see Christ at work in us.
