DON'T LET THAT FIRE GO OUT!

2 Timothy 1:6   "For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands." ESV   We have all been given a gift from God to be used for His glory and purpose. It is up to us to maintain the fire, freshness and readiness of our gift by feeding it through close communion with Him and other believers. That way, when God presents the opportunity for us to use our gift, we will be ready and useful.   Heavenly Father, we thank You that You give so freely the gifts that testify of Your great love and mercy. Help us to keep our gifts burning brightly, ready and waiting to let them do the work You intended. In the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.           ©2008-2013 Daily Grace Bobbi Craigmyle, Psy.D., BCPCC http://insidetheshrink-dailygrace.blogspot.com/ No Copyright Infringement Intended Personal Use Only

GOD'S GIFTS TO US

God's Word says that we all have been given gifts. His Word also says that His gifts and calling cannot be recalled, taken back. Our gifts are given in many different ways and our gifts vary according to what God chose for us. The important thing is not leaving our gifts idle, but using and nurturing them so that we may be fruitful for the Kingdom of God.

Heavenly Father, we thank you that you give gifts to all of us to use for you. Help us to know our gifts, to use them with reverence, and to never let them be left idle. In Jesus' name.

Read 1 Itmothy 4:14

"Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through a prophetic message when the body of elders laid their hands on you." (NIV)

"Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by

prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery." (KJV)

ASK FOR WISDOM

Do any of us feel we are wise? Wisdom is a precious understanding
of the mind of God that He will lavishly give us if we ask sincerely.
With His wisdom, we can more fully understand the situations we
encounter and the events going on in the world.

Heavenly Father, we humbly come to you, asking for wisdom so that
we will understand your ways and know you in a deeper way. In
Jesus' name.

Read James 1:5

"If any of you lack wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously
to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him." (NIV)

"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men
liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." (KJV)

KEEP YOUR GIFT ALIVE

We have all been given a gift from God, to be used for His
glory and His purpose. It is our responsibility to maintain
the freshness and readiness of our gift by feeding it through
close communion with Him and with other believers. Then,
when God presents the opportunity for us to use our gift, it
will be ready and useful.

Read 2 Itmothy 1:6

"For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God,
which is in you through the laying on of my hands." (NIV)

"Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift
of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands." (KJV)

WHERE IS YOUR HEART

It is easy for our spiritual gifts from God to become our own. If that happens, our total devotion and intentions of the heart become tainted and our God receives no glory from the very gifts we are given for His use. But God is faithful. He is always monitoring our hearts and prompting us to get our spirits in tune with Him. If we look
for Him to do this and obey, He will make Himself know to us. If we continue in our own selfish way, we will be left to our own destructive course.

Read 1 Chronicles 28:9

"And you my son, Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the Lord searches every heart and understands every motive behind the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever." (NIV)

"And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever." (KJV)
