I Corinthians 12
Often times when we were younger growing up, we had to be reminded to put our toys away, to fold our clothes, take out the trash and wash our hands. What ever it was, our parents made sure that we knew how to do it and in doing so where it had to go giving everything a place. Just as with a mechanic and his tools, we are with God and his church in having a specific task assigned to us to complete, and its not until each of us complete our assigned task that the job is done.
Take for example the honeybee. Now granted, i don't mess with bees of any kind like that, but you have to set back and marvel and appreciate the highly developed social structure of their kingdom. At the heart of the 80,000 bees(representing each and every one of us) is the queen (our God)and with out her there is no future. Each bee is born with a specific purpose and task chosen by the queen for them to carry out for their entire lives and we are no different, we just choose not to obey and follow our purpose, but as for the bees, they know this and their assigned task no matter what it is such as the forager whom collects the food, or the guard bees that protect the hive, and so on and so on. Each one's task no less important than the other, but all coming together for the greater good and survival of the hive.
We are much like this in the fact that we can not survive without God, cut him off and you cut yourself off. The Lord has given each of us special gifts and talents to share with one another and for our own survival and for the good of the kingdom, we need to complete our task. No one has been called to just sit around, everyone has something to do, but not all of us are out there doing it and its high time we started doing it! The work of the church will not get done unless all of us do what God has called us to do. "Christ builds his church and makes it strong by using you and me and if we all will do our part, the world his love will see."
What has God called you to do? Are you operating in your purpose or are you just allowing life to pass you by our bull doze you over in the process. Someone's life is on the line an needs you to step out in order for them to be saved. Be a blessing don't wait for one!
Peace and Blessings
