You Are Vital

Posted on September 7, 2022September 7, 2022
Daily Devotion With Pastor Dan Nickerson September 7th, 2022

(1 Corinthians 12:22-25)….No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary. And those members of the body which we think to be less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor; and our unpresentable parts have greater modesty, but our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honor to the part that lacks it, that there be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.

There are NO unnecessary parts in the Body of Christ. The devil wants you to think your part does not matter, so that way you will slack off, not investing in the body He placed you in.  But your part in the body is important. Your prayers are important. Your giving is important. Your witness to others is important. It is easy to believe a that one who ministers from the pulpit, or teaches, or sings, etc. is vital in God’s plan. But we need to be reminded that every member of the Body of Christ is needed — including you! A mouth is important. But a mouth is not more important than our hidden, internal organs. We don’t see the liver and kidneys working. However, you could live without a mouth capable of speech, but not without functioning kidneys or liver. In fact, some of the parts that seem weakest and least important are really the most necessary. A body may exist without some of its parts functioning, but it cannot accomplish as much as it would otherwise. Listen, when you are tempted to be discouraged and think what you do doesn’t matter, resist those thoughts! No one but God may see what you are doing, but it is significant. Have confidence in God. He knows what He is doing. God placed you in the body He wanted you in, so be faithful where you are. You are needed here or God would not have placed you here.
