You make springs gush forth in the valleys;
they flow between the hills,
giving drink to every wild animal;
the wild asses quench their thirst.
By the streams the birds of the air have their habitation;
they sing among the branches.
From your lofty abode you water the mountains;
the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your work.
-Psalm 104
"There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work."
1 Corinthians 12:5-6
May we all be vessels of God's love, grace, and peace, shining His light in the world and bringing hope and blessings to those around us.
May we be guided by His Spirit and used for His purposes, to the glory of His name!
So, in everyone it is the same God at work. And even in our unique gifts, we can each recognize God's hand at work in and through each of us, in ourselves, and our efforts....
How do we begin to recognize God's work in others?
Ask yourself: "What might God be accomplishing through this person?"
Hear their testimonies, struggles, and experiences. You might discover how God has been guiding, protecting, or transforming them.
Share in their struggles: Discover how God is sustaining them in difficult times and using those struggles to shape their character.
Explore their experiences: Learn how God has transformed their lives, and how they are now using those experiences to serve others.
As we recognize God's work in others, we begin to see the bigger picture – a tapestry of lives woven together by the Master Weaver Himself. And in that recognition, we find unity, encouragement, and a deeper appreciation for the diverse ways God works in and through His people.
