I Wanted That!
SEPTEMBER 10, 2026
Daily Reading—Pro. 8-9 / 1 Co. 14
WHAT GOD HAS SAID:
1 Corinthians 12:12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
WHAT I HAVE SEEN:
Have you ever watched children in a room with toys? One child will pick a toy and be content. When another child comes into the room and picks up another toy, often the first child will want that one. It did not appear appealing until they saw someone else enjoying it.
Too often, church members are like little children. They are happy using the gift God has given them until they see someone else enjoying how God has gifted them. Then they think they want that gift instead. If they try to do whatever they were not gifted to do, they soon find it not so enjoyable and become miserable. Why? Because that is not what God gifted them to do.
WHAT WILL YOU DO:
Wouldn’t we find life more enjoyable if we could just enjoy serving God with the gifts He gave us?
IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:
Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this passage and today’s devotion?
Within this reading, do I find a CHALLENGE for my life?
What actions will I take today or this week to meet this CHALLENGE?
