Today’s Scripture
“In the human body there are many parts and organs, each with a unique function. And so it is in the body of Christ. For though we are many, we’ve all been mingled into one body in Christ. This means that we are all vitally joined to one another, with each contributing to the others. God’s marvelous grace imparts to each one of us varying gifts and ministries that are uniquely ours. So if God has given you the grace-gift of prophecy, you must activate your gift by using the proportion of faith you have to prophesy. If your grace-gift is serving, then thrive in serving others well. If you have the grace-gift of teaching, then be actively teaching and training others. If you have the grace-gift of encouragement, then use it often to encourage others. If you have the grace-gift of giving to meet the needs of others, then may you prosper in your generosity without any fanfare. If you have the gift of leadership, be passionate about your leadership. And if you have the gift of showing compassion, then flourish in your cheerful display of compassion.”
Romans 12:4-8

Today’s Thought
No matter what part of the body you're placed in, remember it’s a great responsibility to fulfill your purpose. Just like a human body, it’s the hidden parts that are the most valuable.

Today’s Confession
Lord, I thank you that I have a unique function in the body of Christ. For though we are all mingled together as one, we each have our own special gift and ministry that is unique to each of us. It's a great responsibility to fulfill my purpose, just like a human body, it's the hidden parts that are the most valuable, and I thank you Lord for my part in the body of Christ.
