The Body Parts

​Our body is made up of systems, it works together. The interesting thing is that those systems are also made up of smaller systems called cells. The cells are then made up of smaller complex systems called molecules, and them atoms, and them protons, neutrons, and electrons. In turn, they are made up of smaller things called quarks.  We are the larger system made up of smaller systems. Yet all those systems that God designed are essential for things to work properly. If one piece of the system is broken, our body does not function the right way. Our system goes from tiny, to us. It all works well together. But we being big, are essentially the small part of a system that is bigger still than we are. You could call the next stage your spouse or your family. From there you community. If you are a part of a religious system you are part of that body. You are part of a nation, and together we make up the world and we are the children of God, part of His larger creation. So today I want to ask you if one part of that body is not functioning well, wouldn't it then make sense that things would not work right. Christ's body needs you to function correctly. You may not think you are important. However, God designed you to be a functioning and integral part of His body. So I want to ask you, what does that make you worth? How valuable are you to the body of God, and to His plan? It makes you crucial. You are important and necessary. 

Read: 1 Corinthians 12:12-31

Pray today that God will help you identify your place in his body. Ask God to help you believe that you are essential to His work.
