OUR POSITION IN THE BODY OF CHRIST

“BUT OUR BODIES HAVE MANY PARTS AND GOD HAS EACH PART JUST WHERE HE WANTS.” 1 COR. 12:18

The body of Christ is much like our own bodies. Every part of our own body has a job to do. Each plays a special role in the way we live our lives. So it is with the body of Christ. We are all a part of the body. Each of us has been created for a special purpose. We each have a job to. You and I have each been given a special talent. The Lord our God created us with that talent and we should be using it for the advancement of God’s message. If we are not sure just what that talent is, then we should go to God in prayer and ask him to reveal it to us. As we continue to build our faith we will continue to gain the knowledge and wisdom God offers to us. Without a great faith in his actions we will not be able to use our talent the way God desires. Our God has great faith in us. He encourages us and continuously cheers us on. But the devil and the world have a different view. They don’t want us to succeed. They will do everything and anything to cause us to fail. Evil is all around us and at work 24/7. We must stay strong in Jesus and use our strength and talents on his behalf. We must be able to overcome the doubts and the fears this world spews at us. We must be able to stand up in the face of fear, doubt and worry and be able to quote our Lord’s promises. Our Lord loves us and wants us to succeed. We must do our part and know his intent for our lives. Stay in his word and pray always. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
