We need wisdom. We need to pray for wisdom:
Edward DonnellyLord what would you have me to do?We need to obey. Gifts are duties. Jesus’ commands parallel his gifts. The gifts he gives us are also commandments. We are commanded to serve, to give, to teach, to encourage, and to show mercy. We are commanded to offer hospitality. We are commanded to exercise faith. These are not options. We cannot say,Well, I will take these things up if I feel like it.We are under an obligation. And as we obey our Master, do our duty and the things which he has told us to do, then we will find gifts developing. We will find ourselves able to do things that we never knew we could do. We will grow in grace and holiness. We will be led into richer ministry.1
6 But rise and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do.”
