What a Hand!!!

Written by admin on . Posted in devotions, gifts, I Corinthians, talents. No Comments on What a Hand!!!

Some of you may have noticed a splint on my right hand… I broke off a little part of a bone on the last joint of my right pinky. 🙂 Yes, I was playing basketball when this happened. Please know that I am well aware of how old I am…. hahehehahahahahaha… but I do enjoy running up and down the court with the team. My doc told me I had to wear this splint for 6 weeks… and I’m getting closer to having that right pinky back.

Don’t know if you realize how difficult it is to type without the use of your little finger. It is almost impossible, and this experience has been a good reminder of I Corinthians 12:12, “The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body.”

Why not continue to read in your Bibles I Corinthians 12:14-27 where it explains that even though we are all different, we all have a vital role to play in the body of Christ? The real question that remains is — what is YOUR ROLE and are you PLAYING YOUR ROLE?

Why not look around the Church and see what role God desires for you to play?

Don’t feel sorry for my right pinky. Let it be a reminder that we all have a distinct calling in the Kingdom of God.

Developing and Deploying

We are in a sermon series about using your gifts for the Glory of God. EVERYONE has been given some type of gift. You are good at something. Wouldn’t it please the Lord if every one of us used our God given talents for the purpose of honoring God?

Not only would YOU be blessed for using your talent, but the Bible tells us in Ephesians 4:12 that the entire body of Christ would be built up. Now in my little brain, I think that building up the body of Christ would be a GOOD thing… Don’t you???

And just think about that… With the gifts and talents that God has placed within you, you are able to build up the entire body of Christ.

Unlike some things, this particular discipline is something that brings JOY into the heart of the one who practices it, and it is also able to bring JOY into the heart of the person that you are serving.

Why not put a little JOY into your heart and into the heart of God by finding a place to serve his body (church) today? He is never more pleased than when we are excitedly and exceptionally developing and deploying our talents on His behalf.
