14 September: 1 Corinthians 12:12-19
Key Verse: 1 Corinthians 12:19
If all were a single member, where would the body be?
Devotion:
I do love the way each of us think about things in very different ways and each of the authors of the bible as we know it certainly wrote things down in different ways.
Just as our bodies are made up of so many parts, each having its own function and level of importance. One thing I did not know was how important my pancreas was until I had problems with mine - leading up to the present day where I am now diabetic because my pancreas refuses to work properly any more! Who would have thought something I had not heard of would be so important to me!
We can look at the design of our bodies and marvel at all the things which it does automatically and all of the things it does to fight infections and stuff. God made a pretty good design to start with...
But it is our duty to try and keep our bodies in good shape. To exercise. To eat and drink healthily. All because we should be looking after our bodies for God.
