If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
I Peter 4:11
Peter exhorts believers to use their spiritual gifts and abilities for the glory of God, recognizing that all they do should ultimately point back to Him. Peter’s words remind us that every gift, talent, and ability we possess is ultimately from God and should be used to glorify Him.
As followers of Christ, we are called to be faithful stewards of the grace and gifts that God has entrusted to us. This requires humility, obedience, and a willingness to step out in faith, trusting that God will use us for His purposes. Whether our gifts are big or small, we can make a difference in the lives of others when we offer them up to God in service.
Let us be intentional about using our gifts and abilities for the glory of God and the benefit of others. Whether it’s through acts of kindness, words of encouragement, or sharing the hope of the gospel, may everything we do reflect the love and grace of Jesus Christ. And as we faithfully steward God’s gifts, may He be glorified in all things.
Pray
Lord, thank You for the gifts and abilities You have given me. Help me to use them faithfully for Your glory and the benefit of others. Fill me with Your Spirit, that I may speak and minister in accordance with Your will and for Your purposes. In Jesus’ name, amen.
