“But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him” (1 Corinthians 12:18).
Yesterday’s devotion focused on diversity. At the time of Paul’s writings, the Corinthian Church needed to be unified. God uses diversity to bring about unity. Just as God places everything on our physical bodies exactly where it is needed, He plans and places us where we are needed within the Body of Christ. I’ve often used the illustration of a jigsaw puzzle. Its many pieces, when fit together, make a beautiful picture. Just one missing piece can ruin that picture. Are you that missing piece? If we are striving to be body builders, we must help to complete the body.
