We Are The Body

Good morning and happy Wednesday. I watched my daughters basketball team play a game last night for the regional qtr finals that blew me away. They played so well together that they were never behind a single point. The usual scorers didn't make as many points and the usual lower scorers did. They worked as a team like I've never seen. Everyone filling a role and playing it to their best. Each part doing it's part for the good of the whole. Sounds a lot like Paul's letter to the church at Ephesus. In it he describes the body as many parts working together for the glory of God. We have to realize and take hold of our role in the season we are in. I believe that as our circumstances change we become another part and so on. God has designed as amazing structure to life. We have to be on board with His plan though to see it through or we may just miss all the good stuff we thought we have. It's not asking much of us to be a part of the whole body by being the pinkie toe. That's an easy season, but sometimes we have to step it up and be the head of the situation. And by our surrender to His will, we will have Him leading us through it. Take comfort in that for a while. In love always. <><
