1 Corinthians 12:11

Scripture
1 Corinthians 12:11 (NLT)
It is the one and only Spirit who distributes all these gifts. He alone decides which gift each person should have.

Observation
The various abilities mentioned in the preceding verses are given by The Holy Spirit, it is His choice who has which gifts.

Application
This is a comforting thought. While I may still desire to have a gift that i do not currently have, I can rest in and be grateful for what I have realizing that the Spirit of God determines what gifts I will have and, consequently, the ones I don’t have.

Prayer
Thank you for blessing me with the gifts you have blessed me with. Help me to allow them to work in my life to bless those that you have put into my path.
