We have different gifts, according to the grace given us.

~Romans 12:6 NKJV

I love listening to an orchestra. All the instruments playing together produce beautiful music. Each one has its unique sound. The oboe, trumpet, violin, and kettle drums blend perfectly. They produce rich but different tones that flow together in a symphony.

This reminds me of the body of Christ. Each person is gifted differently and has a place in the body. It does not matter what gift the Lord has given us. All God’s gifts are needed and important to Him. He has uniquely gifted us as part of His orchestra.

Now the body is not made up of one part but of many.

~1 Corinthians 12:14 NKJV  

Verse 18 reads, “But in fact God has arranged the parts in the body every one of them, just as He wanted them to be.” God arranges the instruments in His orchestra in a particular order and fashions them to produce the beautiful melodies He wants us to enjoy. He also arranges the parts of His body, the church, according to His plan. Whether we are a pastor, usher, or nursery worker, our gifting fills an important role in the body of Christ.

As we join together and use our God-given gifts, we become a symphony of God’s grace and love. Find your part and place in God’s plan for His church.

What part are you playing in Christ’s body?   

Heavenly Father, help me to use my giftings to serve the body of Christ and demonstrate Your love. In Jesus’ name, amen.
