Blessings will abound as you use your unique spiritual gifts in your education
In his BYU-Pathway Worldwide devotional address in June 2019, Elder Kim B. Clark of the Seventy explained, 鈥淚f you are true and faithful to your covenants, you will be given gifts by the Spirit of God: wisdom, knowledge, faith, discernment.鈥�
Now is a great time to start learning what your spiritual gifts are so you can use them on your educational journey!Seek the Spirit always
Having the Spirit with you at all times invites help from heaven! When you strive daily to be worthy of the Spirit, you can have the blessing and comfort of God鈥檚 strength on your side. His guidance, gifts, and power will help you as you turn to Him in faith during your times of need.
The Spirit can help you to remember what you learn.Pray for guidance
If you鈥檙e not sure how to cultivate and use the gifts you鈥檝e been given, consider praying for inspiration about what you can do. You might pray to know how to strengthen and develop your gifts or pray for opportunities to use them to serve others.
When you show that you are willing to do what the Lord needs you to do, He will bless you for your obedience and sacrifice. Try to recognize and appreciate His hand in everything.
Be creative in your service to others
When you know some of your strengths and gifts, use them in creative ways. Spiritual gifts are given to every person to help them serve others and further God鈥檚 work. By pursuing your education, you are developing gifts and opening more opportunities to serve others.
Seek for more gifts
Maybe there is a spiritual gift that you lack but would really like to have. If you don鈥檛 have that gift right now, it doesn鈥檛 mean you can never have it or develop it!
says, 鈥淎nd all these gifts come by the Spirit of Christ; and they come unto every man severally, according as he will.鈥�
You have unique and individual gifts, even ones you have yet to acquire, that will help the Lord shape your life and serve others! As we live true and faithful to our covenants, God provides each of us with spiritual gifts to help us along our educational journey.
