Different members; one body. We would flow and function a lot better if
we operate within the parameters of our calling. If you're a foot, do
your job and take us where we need to go; if you're an eye, stay focused
on the target; if you're a hand, please know if your right-handed or
left-handed; if you're an ear, make sure you are tuned into the right
station, plus, our lives depend greatly on the
ability to hear the right instructions; if you're a mouth, don't open
it until God tells you to open it and only to eat; if you're a colon
(not a very comely part but very much needed), you serve to help filter
out the garbage and toxins that try to infiltrate our system - we can't
do without you. What's my point?
Imagine this: The hands trying to carry you to the car. Not impossible, right? But the hand is not designed to walk you to the car the foot is. We'd get there but it would take double or triple the time and with complications. We need to know what position we hold in the Body of Christ, step in it, and then stay in our lanes. This eliminates a lot of confusion and division, which only opens the doors to jealousy and carnal manipulations. We don't need to try and outdo each other rather work with one mind, one heart, one spirit ... then and only then will we be productively progressive in God's Kingdom.
Tilt your hearts toward the Son!
