My Specific Place

Love this...be encouraged.

God Bless.

I am a member of the body of Christ.

Jesus said that if we have “faith as a mustard seed,” we can

move a mountain. (See Matthew 17:20.) It is not the

quantity of your faith, but rather the quality, that matters.

Faith is given to those who are realistic and humble.

Why does God give you a specific measure of faith?

(See Romans 12:3.) Because He has a specific place for you

in the body of Christ. He has ordained you to serve a

specific function as a specific member of the body of

Christ. The faith He has given you is designed for your

position in the body. If God wants you to be a hand, He will

give you “hand” faith. If He wants you to be an ear, He will

give you “ear” faith. If He wants you to be a toe, He will

give you “toe” faith. But if you are a toe and you are trying

to be a nose, there will be a complete imbalance between

what you are trying to do and the faith that you have. The

reason is not that you do not have enough faith, but that you

are trying to use your faith for something for which it was

not meant to be used. It was given for the specific job and

place you have in the body of believers.

My hand does a wonderful job as a hand. It opens my

Bible, turning the pages. It does most everything I ask of it.

But if should I try to do those jobs with my foot, I would be

in trouble.

If you are always struggling for faith, you are probably

trying to do the wrong job. You are a hand trying to be a

foot, or a foot trying to be a hand. This is God’s way of

guiding you into your place.

Thank You, Jesus, for making me a part of Your

body. I proclaim that God is guiding me into my

specific place, for I am a member of the body of

Christ. Amen.
