1 Peter 4:10 “As every man has received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of GOD!”
Transforming “Less Than” Zeal!
A “Less than” voice with “More than” Volume is found in each believer.
No “Greater than” a soul exists who GOD loves more than others.
With uniquely giv’n assignments, so we sing a “different” tune…
…but HIS zeal is common ground on which each child can “sound” the same!
So give all (without comparing) to the ONE WHO made our tongues.
Yes! Let us without such chains praise GOD through lives which seek HIS face!
As HIServant reminded to sing my best for JESUS WHO is always listening,

Devotional: James 1:17 “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the FATHER of lights, with WHOM is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.”
As Flesh, we often get snared in the web of “gift comparison”.
“Do I sound as good as them? Am I liked as much as they are or…am I simply a “Less than?”
These questions are naturally heard in our flesh but they’re greatly misused.
Overly critical Self assessments happen and personal abuse is known to take place!
But GOD! HE didn’t short-change anyone!
HE loves us equally and gives the equal power to zealously give HIM all the glory through whatever kind or level of GODly gift is ours!
So! Don’t shortchange yourself!
The humble and zealous, expressing their “utmost for HIS highest” — as Oswald Chambers book title encourages us…
…may we each be found in the gathering of such souls — bent towards HIM with all of our hearts!
2 Corinthians 9:15 “Thanks be unto GOD for HIS unspeakable gift.”
Amen and amen!
