“And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh in all†(1 Corinthians 12:6).
Yesterday I shared about diversity. I think in terms of it being variety. I have often used the illustration of a jigsaw puzzle. Depending on the size of it, there can be anywhere from fifty to one thousand pieces. Interlock all the pieces and the whole picture can be displayed. If some of the pieces are missing or lost, the picture is incomplete. The Body of Christ-His Church is much the same way. As I mentioned, we all have at least one gift to contribute to the overall work of the church. When we fail to use it or it somehow gets misplaced, the whole “picture†or work of the church is affected.
Read 1 Corinthians 12:8-10 and pray about what the Spirit can help you do to find your fit within the body. When you do realize what your gift is, use it with humility, joy and enthusiasm.
