1 Corinthians 12:18 (ESV Strong's)
18 But as it is, God arranged the members in the body, each one of them, as he chose.
God Arranges the Body
The word picture of the “Body of Christ” is an amazing word picture. When believers come to Christ, we are “placed” into the greater Church. The greater Church, Paul states, above, that Christ puts the believers in the body they way He deems best. Not all of believer play the same role. It is easy for believers to desire certain roles, gifts and positions in the church. The above passage is to let us know that God is the one who put us in the body the way He desires. We need to accept our roles in the Body.
My 2026 Theme Verses: Psalms 145:4-7 (ESV) One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts. On the glorious splendor of your majesty, and on your wondrous works, I will meditate. They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds, and I will declare your greatness. They shall pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness and shall sing aloud of your righteousness.
