Unity and Diversity in the Body

Scripture: "But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as He wanted them to be" (12:18).

Observation: This includes me! God has gifted me and placed me in the body of Christ exactly where He wants me to be.

Application: This is a difficult thought for me. I can see my free will, but I can't see God's glorious plans or how he makes them happen in union with my free will. Understanding that will have to wait until I get to heaven. But difficult thought or not, by faith I need to accept this. The application is to bloom where I am planted.

Prayer: Almighty God, give me the faith to believe that you have placed me in the body of Christ exactly where you want me. Show me this week, or tomorrow, or tonight, how to serve You and do Your will by sharing Your Son with another.
