Furnishing with Purpose
Reading: Romans 12:3-13; 1 Peter 4:10-11
Devotional: A house with strong walls but no furniture is incomplete. God has equipped you with spiritual gifts—furniture for ministry—that must be put to use. Whether you prophesy, serve, teach, encourage, give, lead, or show mercy, your gift has a purpose in God's kingdom. Don't wait for recognition or a title; serve where you are with what you have. The body of Christ functions when each member operates in their gifting. Your service isn't about you; it's about making God's temple—the church—functional and beautiful. Stop hoarding your potential. Stop comparing your gift to someone else's. Use what God has given you enthusiastically, knowing that ministry happens when we put our gifts into action for others.

Reflection Questions:
- What spiritual gifts has God given me, and am I actively using them?
- Who can I serve this week with the abilities God has placed within me?
