WEEK 29 – DAY 4

EACH MEMBER OF THE BODY IS IMPORTANT

But God designed the body in such a way that greater significance is given to the seemingly insignificant part. That way there should be no division in the body; instead, all the parts mutually depend on and care for one another. If one part is suffering, then all the members suffer alongside it. If one member is honored, then all the members celebrate alongside it. 1 Corinthians 12:24b-26 (VOICE)

The church is described as the body of Christ; every part is needed for works to be visualized. As our bodies need eyes, ears, hands, feet, and hearts, so the body of Christ needs each of its parts. In the case of Precious Jewels Ministries, God combines the talents of Susan and Susie. Susan will brainstorm and explain a creative concept, but when it comes to computer skills, she is inept. Cerebral palsy limits the use of her fingers, but she needs to record her ideas while they linger. Therefore, Susie is the Lord’s fingers recording her words. God enables her to type them as fast as they’re heard. Together we study. Susan has the ministry degrees; and we both have God’s word hidden in our memories. In a book or the computer, Susie looks up a definition or commentary, which is often because Susan poses an interesting query. As we each use our God-given gifts and abilities, we move our ministry from concept to realities. Do not be disheartened if you seem to be a big toe because without that digit, tumbling over the body will go. Faithfully use the capabilities you possess by God’s grace and be amazed how He uses you all over the place! Susan is the visionary, and Susie is the facilitator. By the way, if you are a big toe, Susan may need your services someday since she no longer has toes or even knees. 

Father, we thank You for bringing us together to serve You in ministry.
