Today's reading:  There are different kinds of service in the church, but it is the same Lord we are serving.  Azmaveth son of Adiel was in charge of the palace treasuries.  Jonathan son of Uzziah was in charge of the regional treasuries throughout the towns, villages, and fortresses of Israel.  Ezri son of Kelub was in charge of the field workers who farmed the king's lands.  Shimei from Ramah was in charge of the king's vineyards.  Zabdi from Shepham was responsible for the grapes and the supplies of wine.  All these officials were overseers of King David's property.  Here is a list of some of the members that God has placed in the body of Christ:  first are apostles, second are prophets, third are teachers, then those who do miracles, those who have the gift of healing, those who can help others, those who can get others to work together, those who speak in unknown languages.  God has given gifts to each of you from His great variety of spiritual gifts.  Manage them well so that God's generosity can flow through you.  Are you called to be a speaker?  Then speak as though God Himself were speaking through you.  Are you called to help others?  Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies.  Then God will be given glory in everything through Jesus Christ.  All glory and power belong to Him forever and forever.  Amen.  Some people, well aware of their abilities, believe that they have the right to use their abilities as they please.  Others feel they have not special talents at all.  But everyone has some gifts; find yours and use them.  All our abilitities should be used in serving others; none are for our own exclusive enjoyment.   LAB note for 1 Peter 4:10-11.
