Every Job of the Believer is Given by God, All the Jobs Matter

Many Christians love to elevate one person above another based on their own idea of special in the body. God does not elevate anyone as better than another. We all have a job to do, if we do that job as directed by the Holy Spirit then God is pleased with us. Only in human thinking is one job more important than another, in God's eyes He see the obedience in the one doing a job, not the status of the job. Think about it!!!!

We have one purpose on earth and that is to glorify God. Evangelism is one of the jobs we have. Encouraging the saints is another and feeding the poor of the church is another. We need hands, feet and all the body parts for the jobs to get done.

1 Corinthians 12:12-26 "12 For even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ.
13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.
14 For the body is not one member, but many.
15 If the foot says, “Because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason any the less a part of the body.
16 And if the ear says, “Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason any the less a part of the body.
17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the sense of smell be?
18 But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body, just as He desired.
19 If they were all one member, where would the body be?
20 But now there are many members, but one body.
21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; or again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.”
22 On the contrary, it is much truer that the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary;
23 and those members of the body which we deem less honorable, on these we bestow more abundant honor, and our less presentable members become much more presentable,
24 whereas our more presentable members have no need of it. But God has so composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that member which lacked,
25 so that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another.
26 And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it."
