Morning Scripture
“Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually. And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues.
But earnestly desire the best gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way.”
I Corinthians 12:27-28, 31 NKJV

“All of you together are Christ’s body, and each of you is a part of it. Here are some of the parts God has appointed for the church: first are apostles, second are prophets, third are teachers, then those who do miracles, those who have the gift of healing, those who can help others, those who have the gift of leadership, those who speak in unknown languages.
So you should earnestly desire the most helpful gifts. But now let me show you a way of life that is best of all.”
1 Corinthians 12:27-28, 31 NLT

Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Father, thank you for showing us that we all play a part in the body of Christ. Help us to discern our gift; then guide us toward the development and implementation of our gifts. Father, as we are moving toward the end of 2019, we continue to ask that we walk in our gift, that you show us the way. My Lord, we are listening. In Jesus’ name we pray and praise you now and tomorrow. Amen

Morning Scripture
“There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all:” I Corinthians 12:5-7 NKJV https://www.bible.com/114/1co.12.5-7.nkjv “There are different kinds of service, but we serve the same Lord. God works in different ways, but it is the same God who does the work in all of us. A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other.” 1 Corinthians 12:5-7 NLT https://www.bible.com/116/1co.12.5-7.nlt |
Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Father, thank you for making each of us different, for reminding us that there are diversities of gifts. We are not the same, but your same Spirit lives in each of us and we are grateful. As we learn and perfect our gifts, remind us that we have them to help each other. Father, show us our gifts, remind us of our purpose, and encourage us to step out in faith. In Jesus’ name we pray and praise. Amen. Happy Veteran's Day
Father, thank you for those you have gifted with the spirit of military service. Thank you for their courage and their truest sacrifice. Father, please continue to watch over them. Bless and strengthen them. Comfort them through their struggles, hold them close and remind them that you are ever present and that they have a purpose and their purpose and service is not forgotten. In Jesus’ name we pray and celebrate those in military service - thank you, Lord and Amen. Service members and their families. We thank you for your service. Amen. |

Morning Scripture
“For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body— whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. For in fact the body is not one member but many.” I Corinthians 12:12-14 NKJV https://www.bible.com/114/1co.12.12-14.nkjv The human body has many parts, but the many parts make up one whole body. So it is with the body of Christ. Some of us are Jews, some are Gentiles, some are slaves, and some are free. But we have all been baptized into one body by one Spirit, and we all share the same Spirit.” 1 Corinthians 12:12-13 NLT https://www.bible.com/116/1co.12.12-13.nlt |
Morning Prayer
“Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Thank you for our differences - that we are different races and have different roles. Our differences make us unique. Thank you for our similarities - reminding us that are all filled with your Spirit. And thank you for allowing us all to be a part of the body of Christ. Father, prick our hearts and remind us that we are one and we are all of You. In Jesus’ name we pray and praise. Thank you and Amen. |

Morning Scripture
“For in fact the body is not one member but many. If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body? And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling? But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased.” I Corinthians 12:14-18 NKJV https://www.bible.com/114/1co.12.14-18.nkjv “Yes, the body has many different parts, not just one part. If the foot says, “I am not a part of the body because I am not a hand,” that does not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear says, “I am not part of the body because I am not an eye,” would that make it any less a part of the body? If the whole body were an eye, how would you hear? Or if your whole body were an ear, how would you smell anything? But our bodies have many parts, and God has put each part just where he wants it.” 1 Corinthians 12:14-18 NLT https://www.bible.com/116/1co.12.14-18.nlt |
Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Father, thank you for reminding us of unity and purpose. Forgive us because we have created discord by stepping out of our roles. Forgive us because we decided that the job we did didn’t matter, so we stopped working. Forgive us because we deliberately stepped into someone else’s role and pushed them out of place. My Lord, strengthen us. Father, in all things direct us toward our purpose so that we do not disrupt the body; but we support and build the body for the uplifting of your kingdom. In Jesus’ name we pray and reflect. Amen. Things that make you go hmmmm…….It’s so easy to think that this scripture refers only to the church body. But what happens when we make this scripture about our family, or our jobs, or our friendships, or our relationships??? Gives me something to think about…. what about you?? Hugs and Blessings!!! |

Morning Scripture
“And those members of the body which we think to be less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor; and our unpresentable parts have greater modesty, but our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacks it, that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.” I Corinthians 12:23-25 NKJV https://www.bible.com/114/1co.12.23-25.nkjv “And the parts we regard as less honorable are those we clothe with the greatest care. So we carefully protect those parts that should not be seen, while the more honorable parts do not require this special care. So God has put the body together such that extra honor and care are given to those parts that have less dignity. This makes for harmony among the members, so that all the members care for each other.” 1 Corinthians 12:23-25 NLT https://www.bible.com/116/1co.12.23-25.nlt |
Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father. Thank you for all things. Father, forgive us. Thank you for reminding us that those who have the greatest need should be the ones we take care of best. Forgive our selfishness, when we push the weak and frail to the back and when we ignore those who are different. Teach us, Father, to celebrate and embrace the differences in each other. You have given each of us purpose. Teach us to see purpose not their challenges. Teach us how to love each other. In Jesus’ name we pray and praise. Amen. As an educator, I thought about all of our students with special needs and exceptionalities. As a parent, I thought about all of our children born needing exceptional care and patience. There is much love needed and much love to give. |
Prayers are each week day. See you next week.
Fellowship with those you love . Worship the Lord in all that you do.
