Song # 1583.1 from Our Gospel In Song Collection by Col Johnston. In Paul’s first letter to the Church in Corinth, we read in chapter 12 of 1 Corinthians, that although we may all have different gifts from God, we all share the same Lord and the same Holy Spirit.
You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols (1 Corinthians 12:2). Therefore I tell you that no-one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says “Jesus is cursed” and no-one can say “Jesus is Lord” except by the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:3). There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:4). There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord (1 Corinthians 12:5). There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men (1 Corinthians 12:6). Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good (1 Corinthians 12:7). To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:8), to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:9), to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between Spirits, to another speaking in different tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues (1 Corinthians 12:10). All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and He gives them to each one, just as He determines (1 Corinthians 12:11).
Thought for today: your life is God’s gift to you, make it your gift to God.

Thought for the future: be in partnership with God, and your future is assured. Where will you spend your eternity?
