I am feeling in a groove right now, a good groove. I preached at the Evangelical church in Jefferson on Sunday. I preached a 15-minute sermon at a Memorial service on Saturday. I taught a 15-minute devotional at the Senior gathering; I taught in Leadership class last night for an hour; I preached a 40-minute sermon tonight at our Wednesday Night service; I will teach tomorrow night at Men’s Leadership I for 40 minutes, and then Leadership class II right after that for another 40 minutes. God sovereignly gave every one of us gifts and abilities. Mine is teaching the Bible, and when I do that, I feel His pleasure and power, which is very fulfilling and energizing.

Every person has a supernatural ability in some area designed by God to bless and edify other people and to build his church. Most people have not discovered what that giftedness is. If I didn’t know mine, I would not rest until I discovered it. I am fortunate in that while I was growing up in the church, I was given many opportunities to teach and share, and when I did, people would encourage me to keep at it.

The best way to discover how God has wired you is to listen for opportunities to serve in various ways. Keep experimenting and trying new things until something clicks. God wants you to discover your spiritual gift; he will lead and guide you if you move. I visited with a guy in our church who recently led someone to faith in Christ. As he told me about his experience, he commented, “I was made for this.” What are you made for? Find it!
