God speaking through my droid

I have this APP on my droid called Holy Bible, and everyday it puts up a random verse for me to read. And I cant tell you the number of times that "random" verse has spoken to my life. God can use the strangest things to speak to us and use us.

Today this verse popped up

Romans 12:3-8

For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.

I have been thinking about this verse a lot this morning because this lets us all know (and its EXCITING) that we all have a place and a purpose in the kingdom of God. All of us...not just the preachers, teachers, and full time church staff but ALL OF US! And everyone is just as important as the other!

So the question you may be asking yourself today or everyday is what can i do? How can i be used by God?

And the answer is this...anyway you can. Look for opportunities today that God presents you.

Maybe its coming across someone who is down and needs some encouragement and you speak those words of hope into their life....

Maybe its hearing of someone who is financially struggling and you have the means to help....

Maybe its listening to that small still voice inside that's telling you to call that person just to let them know you love them and you are praying for them....

Maybe its randomly paying for someones lunch that you don't know or leaving that waitress that is having a really hard time a huge tip even though the service wasn't that great...

Maybe its just smiling at everyone you meet...

God can and will use you in every opportunity if we will just listen and obey....and can you imagine what would happen if we all did that???? We would all finally become the Body of Christ, different people working together to serve one purpose.

Have a great day
