While still erratic I am attempting a daily time to study scripture and gospel subjects. I am reading about gifts of the spirit. It is an interesting subject, talked about in the New Testament, Book of Mormon and the Doctrine & Covenants as well as in the words of modern-day apostles and prophets.
There are many different gifts, some more well known than others. The gift of faith, the gift of knowledge, the gift of wisdom, the gift of tongues, the gift of interpreting of tongues, the gift of healing, the gift to be healed and many others.
I particularly like one spiritual gift, talked about by Elder Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He talks about the gift of discernment. How great a gift is this - to be able to discern the good and the evil in life and in ourselves. One with this gift will be less likely to be deceived by the philosophies of men or tempted to do that which is contrary to the will of God.
We can also ask God for spiritual gifts we desire and to know the gift or gifts we have been given.
