I Corinthians 12
Dear RTB’ers,
But as it is, God arranged the members in the body, each one of them, as He chose. (v. 18) When I take time to reflect, I am in awe of the human body. Paul spoke of the eye, the ear, the nose, the hand, the feet, and even the “unpresentable parts” –with more still not mentioned by Paul, each part performing what needs to be done for the body to work. And then there are the dramatic differences between males and females, both external and internal, that makes each gender different in who they are and what they are called to do or be. Finally, I can barely comprehend what goes on inside the body – the relationships between the heart, the lungs, the liver, the kidneys, the veins, the arteries, the nerves – all controlled by the brain and its central nervous system. I close this reflection with verses that I quoted a few days ago: Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. (I Cor. 6:19-20)
Blessings!
