Biblical Thoughts For the Day

Throughout the years, most of us have heard the cliché used for the church “We are the Body of Christ. We are the hands, the feet, the eyes of God.” We have heard sermons and stories about how we are to accomplish our job, because “the hand can’t do what the leg needs to, or the eye can’t smell for the nose.”

But, have we ever thought about the fact that each of these parts of the body really ARE inter-dependent? What I mean is, without the lungs, how does the heart get its oxygen? Without the feet, how do the hands get to the place where they can lay on a healing touch?

Each of us need each other for strength, support, encouragement and nourishment. God has created us to need others, and for others to need us.

So, in that light, How involved are you in the lives of those around you? Do you let others in? How many times do you make yourself available to a friend in need? Do you really mean it when you ask someone “How are you doing?” Do we stop and let them really answer?

I know I just asked a lot of questions, but sometimes we need to stop and ask them. Sometimes we need to take the time to reflect and see where we can tweak our daily habits and let God use US.

Apply this to our little bitty body of SouthPoint, you say. Ok, it’s a fact of life that the more you work out, the happier you are, and the more you eat, the more you grow. So, naturally, the more that we, as SouthPoint Church, open ourselves to give AND receive strength, support, encouragement, and nourishment, the more we’ll grow. I guarantee it.
