1 Corinthians 12:18, As He Hath Pleased Him

1 Corinthians 12:18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.

It is God’s prerogative, in His infinite wisdom to decide, the functioning of each member that forms His church on earth. In His pleasure, He makes us perfectly to fulfil His purpose for our lives. We can trust His wisdom to bestow gifts to us and we may use these gifts for the glory of God and for the strengthening of His church.

William MacDonald applied, “To be envious of someone else’s gift is sin. It is rebellion against God’s perfect plan for our lives.” In a sense, the believer is not functioning to the potential God has made him to be.

May God grant us His people the blessing of discovering and utilising their spiritual function in His body to the honour and glory of His Name. Amen.
