“But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body, just as He desired.”
~ 1 Cor 12:18
Happy Thanksgiving!
I was reflecting this morning on how thankful I am for the body of Christ at FBC. As a pastor, there can sometimes be a temptation to think that everything is ‘on you’ when it comes to the spiritual care and unity of the body.
But there’s nothing that could be further from the truth!
God has placed each member of our little church in exactly the right place and the right time! What a blessing to see and hear that so clearly. Each one has a special gift, each has a special connection to others, each has a special way to serve and care for the others—and each is precisely where God wants them.
As I spent time considering this, I was so encouraged to see photos on social media, comments from others, and the general connectedness of the family here at FBC. Brothers and sisters carrying out their roles for the glory of God and the blessings and care of others. The Lord has built and will continue to build His body for His glory!
I pray that your Thanksgiving is a day filled with joy—joy in the love of God for you, joy in the blessings that surround you, and joy in your place in the body of Christ!
