Playing to One Conductor:
An orchestra is a great picture of the way the Body of Christ should operate. It is made up of different people with different gifts, all being led by the one Great Conductor, telling us when to use our gift in the right time.
Every member of the Body of Christ matters. Every job matters to God and contributes to our great Conductor's grand plan to fulfill His purposes on the earth. Your contribution matters to God and has no hierarchy of importance.
Play your instrument to the glory of God in *consonance* with the other instruments God has raised up for His purposes.
- 1 Cor 12:21-23 -
From TGIF2 morning devotional - posted here to reinforce in me. (I changed the word unity to consonance, because I think it is more accurate to what I Cor 12:21-23 is saying.)
