FRIDAY | DAILY RHYTHMS - SERVE WEEK 2

When speaking of spiritual gifts received by God, Peter refers to Christ-followers as “stewards of God’s varied grace.” Stop and think about that phrase for a few minutes. Stewardship is most often used in reference to our financial resources, i.e. honoring God with one’s money. Here, Peter encourages us to view our spiritual gifts as not only resources to manage, but as conduits of God’s varied grace to the world. Have you ever thought of yourself as one who makes God’s grace available to those around you? God not only supplies his children with gifts, he does so with the intention that those gifts will be in place and available for Him to dispense grace to meet all sorts of needs within the faith community.
