The Bible Guy
Bible: 1 Corinthians 12:4-11

We have different gifts, according to the grace given
to each of us (ROMANS 12:6).
When the youth group in Rich’s church needed Bibles, he went on a search for more than seventy copies. He got what they needed, but he never stopped collecting and passing on Bibles.Now, lots of people give him money for this work; others give him new and used Bibles to share. The words on the side of the van he drives explains his simple, but powerful vision: “Need a Bible? Ask me for one.” Rich is a normal guy, who passes out Bibles in his spare time. His nickname around his church is “the Bible guy.”
Do you ever wish you could know what you’re meant to be doing for God? He has given each of us at least one gift to use for His purposes. Paul lists several gifts and skills in 1 Corinthians 12 and Romans 12, and some are mentioned in 1 Peter 4:9-11. But these are not the only ways God uses us. You’ll not find “be a Bible guy” in any lists of gifts in the Bible—yet that’s clearly a great way Rich is being used by God!
If you don’t know what gifts you have, volunteer for a group in your church that interests you. Or meet a need for someone you know needs help. Then ask yourself if you saw God work through you and if you had joy as you served. Ask other Christians what they think you’re good at as well. And ask God to help you work out where you fit in His plans. Because you do fit: He wants to use you too.
