The greatest gifts we’ll ever receive…other than the gift of salvation…aren’t those piled under the Christmas tree or given at your surprise birthday party.

Most of those gifts. . .eventually lose their appeal and sometimes their value.

However, everyone has spiritual gifts that only increase in value and will never go out of style.

John C. Maxwell said:

“When you find your spiritual gift, God will give you an opportunity to use it.”

Of particular focus is the need to use our spiritual gifts.

Spiritual gifts are not given to entertain us.

Spiritual gifts are not given to make you appear as some super saint.

Spiritual gifts are imparted to strengthen individuals and bless the Body of Christ.

Romans 12:1 in the New King James Version says:

 

Have you ever said. . .I just wasn’t in the right place at the right time?

Perhaps you said. . .my timing always seems to be wrong. . .I can’t catch a break.

Or … things didn’t work out the way we wanted. . .we were hoping for a different result.

John Wooden, the legendary basketball coach at UCLA, once said:

“Things turn out best for people who make the best out of the way things turn out.”

How can you make the best out of the way things turn out?

It’s simple really. . .by positioning yourself for the desired result.  Here are seven keys to help you do just that.

1) Look at Every Day As A Potential Day for Miracles.

We serve a right now God. . .wanting to manifesting His power TODAY.

Miracles.

I love hearing about miracles. . .talking and testifying about them.

I love it. . .when we personally experience miracles.

I love writing and teaching about miracles.  In fact, during the past week we’ve talked about miracles on two of our Rich Thoughts For Breakfast calls.

I spend a lot of time ruminating about miracles.  Now ruminating is a good word when it comes to miracles.

Ruminating means:

“think deeply about something; think about, contemplate, consider, meditate on, muse on, mull over, ponder on/over, deliberate about/on, chew on.

My faith is always looking for God's next "suddenly."

When our faith and the ability of God intersect . . .miracles manifest.

Acts 19:11-12 in the New King James Version says:

Never allow anyone other than God to determine your worth and value.
