‘Twas the Monday after Thanksgiving, and all through the
town, people were feeling the effects of too much:
Turkey
Football (as
if it’s possible to watch too much football)
Left-over
turkey
Shopping

Pumpkin
pie
Christmas

The reality of the Christmas season is upon us as we look
ahead to a month of parties, shopping, and spending. Each year it seems as if
the Christmas list gets longer and the time to shop gets shorter.
On this Cyber Monday let’s refocus. In 1 Corinthians 14:12, God’s Word
translation, we read, “In the same way,
since you’re eager to have spiritual gifts, try to excel in them so that you
help the church grow.” Paul was writing to an infant church that was
struggling to find a proper balance in many areas, but who had passion. I love
the passion of a new believer in Christ.
This morning as I read this passage I was challenged to
look again at my spiritual gifts and see how I’m using them. Believe it or not,
even in church work it’s easy to lose a sense of passion while living life.
Today I encourage you to engage your spiritual gifts and
invest them in helping the church grow. It will ease the pain of too much
turkey, football, left-over…you get the idea.
