Designed By God

Designed By God

Bible: Romans 12:3-8

Reading

We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us (V.6).

Bison are made in such a way that they naturally look down; the design of their necks makes it difficult for them to look up. But giraffes are designed in a way that makes looking up easy; the way their necks were made makes it difficult for them to look down. Two creatures created by the same God but with obviously different body parts and purposes. Giraffes eat leaves from branches above. Bison eat grass from the field below. God provides food for both, and neither has to become like the other to eat

As we look at the animals and people around us, we’re reminded that God made each of us for a purpose. One person’s natural instinct may be to look up and see the ‘big picture’, while another looks down and focuses on details. Both are important. One is not better than the other. God gave us individual talents and skills so that we can work together and support each other in many ways.

Human beings are the best bit of creation. But we’re not at our best when it’s all about showing off what we can do. We are to use what God has given us to care for His family. “We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us” (ROMANS 12:6)

EVERY GIFT IS IMPORTANT IN GOD’S FAMILY. EACH ONE CAN MAKE HIM KNOWN.
