God is really trying to tell me something here. You see, it has been brought up over and over in my life this past little while about who am I? What does God want me to do? What is His plans for me? What plans should I make for my future? (grad time :P)
And this keeps coming up: spiritual gifts, differences in the body (as in not everyone will be doing the same thing), His direction through opportunities, skills, interests.
If the entire body were an eye, where would the sense of smell be? If everyone was a doctor, where are those who teach? where are those who write? entertain? Now to find out what God wants me to be.
And just thinking about the body itself, (even though it is a metaphor, chew on this a bit) think about how complex the body is. I'm currently studying about DNA and protein synthesis. The detail of each gene, which goes down to codons, separated into nucleotides, nitrogenous bases. Just imagine, God says that He placed each of the body parts where He wanted it so it would work. Well that would be coding it all just in the right way so it would work. We can barely decipher what He has made, let alone try making something of the like. So He has a place for me. Somewhere that nothing else can work. He will shape me and form me (like a protein) and I'll only be able to work in His body in the shape He makes me to be. My part? Don't withhold the nucleotides and make mutations. Don't go against His perfect plan.
So, still, thats the passage, but what does this mean for me realistically? I believe I know. You've seen my interest. You've heard my concerns. You've seen my faith. That is where I'm going. If I'm thinking wrong, I pray God stops me. NOW. PLEASE.
