It's wonderful that God has given every one of us gifts to use as part of the body of Jesus. Jesus has the gifts and as we are in Him we share in what He has! The Holy Spirit in us administers the gifts just as He did when Jesus was on the earth in personal bodily form. Now that we are His body Jesus works through us and Holy Spirit gives us the gifts we need in our area of influence.

This is all for the blessing of the rest of the body of Christ and for the work of ministry to which we have individually been called. Peter makes this point in his letter 1 Peter, Chapter 4, in verse 10

1 Peter 4:10 As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: 11 whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Adam was given dominion over the world and when he followed Satan into sin he gave that dominion over to Satan. Jesus came as the second Adam, defeated Satan, and took that dominion and rule back! Now Jesus has all power and authority in heaven and earth and under the earth. And we are given gifts as part of His body to enforce that rulership as we follow the guidance of and walk after the Holy Spirit.

Submit to God and His blessings will flow to you according to the plan God is working out for you. The provision needed is along the way of the plan! Just as the ravens were already at the brook to feed Elijah, your provision is already along the way that you are to follow. Jesus is the way. Follow Him and His plan for your life and ALL the provision and blessings that our 'GOOD' God has for you will be waiting in the way!

As Paul tells us in Philippians 4:19...

Philippians 4:19 And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.

What a wonderful God we worship.

Best wishes for Grace and the Peace of Jesus.
