2. Promote Instruction or Advance Destruction
“The wise in heart are called discerning, and pleasant words promote instruction.” ~Proverbs 16:21
Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen. (1 Peter 4:10-11)
The Lord is so gracious in reminding me of the gifts He has given me and how precious those gifts are. Yesterday, Paul and I flew to Hawaii and I was sitting back in awe of God again at all that He has done. Paul is always like a little boy in a candy shop when we are on a plane, even though he’s a pilot, he just can’t seem to get enough of the air. It’s quite exhilarating to watch. God truly has given him the desires of his heart by allowing him to work in his passion and allowing me to travel with him.
