LET'S STICK TOGETHER

LET'S STICK TOGETHER

READ:
1 Corinthians 12:12-27

For in fact the body is not
one member but many.
1 Corinthians 12:14

Most regions of the world are familiar with the amazing phenomenon of snow.  Snowflakes are beautiful, uniquely crafted ice crystals.  Individual snowflakes are fragile, and they quickly melt if they land on your hand.  Yet, en masse they create a force to be reckoned with.  They can shut down major cities while creating beautiful landscapes of snow-laden trees whose pictures decorate calendars and become the subject of artwork.  They provide pleasure on the ski slopes and joy for children as they make snowmen and ammunition for snowball fights.  All because they stick together.

So it is with those of us who follow Christ.  Each of us has been uniquely gifted with the capacity to make a contribution to the work of Christ.  We were never intended to live in isolation but to work together to become a great force for God and the advance of His cause.  As Paul reminds us, the body of Christ "is not one member but many" (1 Corinthians 12:14).  All of us are to use our gifts to serve one another so that together we can make a significant difference in our world.

Put your giftedness to work, joyfully cooperate with the giftedness of those around you, and let the wind of the Spirit use you for His glory! - Joe Stowell

Lord, teach us to use our strengths in cooperation with
the strengths of others.  Help us to serve as one so that
we might know the joy of the power of our togetherness
for Your name's sake and the advance of Your kingdom.

We can accomplish more together than we can alone.

Have a blessed day.
