Important Body Part

How many times have we all wanted to be another part of the Body? Too many times I think we’ve all looked at another person and wished we had their gifts and abilities. We fail to recognize our own gifts and abilities when we are envying another person. Psalm 139 was a chapter that helped me a lot as a teenager – especially these 2 verses.

¹³ For you formed my inmost being.
    You knit me together in my mother’s womb.
¹⁴ I will give thanks to you,
    for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Your works are wonderful.

     My soul knows that very well. We are each important parts of God’s Body. We each have our own special gifts and abilities. We could not have men and women of God leading us without prayer warriors! Too many times we think the people on stage or in leadership capacities are more important than the “little” people in the background. That’s so not true! I often think of our older generation of women rocking their babies and praying over them. Think about how many of those babies grew up strong and bold because of that mommy praying in the rocking chair. Today is your special day whether physical or spiritual birthday. You are special in God’s sight and an important part of His Body. Chin up my friend. You are a child of the King!!
