I am a runner. I refuse to say I was a runner but the truth is that ever since I adopted the girls running has been impossible. But recently I dusted off my shoes and have begun running again.
This first run was about a month ago. I headed out on the road slow and steady. I was about a mile into my run when I was drawn to the pain in my quadriceps. Here this large leg muscle made just for running was screaming out in complaint. I wasn't using them as they were designed and they had become deconditioned for their job.
1 Corinthians 12:12-13 (The Message)
You can easily enough see how this kind of thing works by looking no further than your own body. Your body has many parts-limbs, organs, cells-but no matter how many parts you can name, you're still one body.
It's exactly the same with Christ. By means of his one Spirit, we all said good-bye to our partial and piecemeal lives. We each used to independently call our own shots, but then we entered into a large and integrated life in which he has the final say in everything.
I asked the Lord to show me areas in my life were I had become deconditioned or ineffective in the church. He said I haven't asked you to stop sending. He was right on! Ever since I made the decision to go to Africa I stopped financially supporting others who are serving in ministry. He didn't ask me to stop this function. My part of this great body of Christ is to support others ministries. So the checks will go out this week. Sorry friends.
