SCRIPTURE: Galatians (NIV) 2:8 For God, who was at work in the ministry of Peter as an apostle to the Jews, was also at work in my ministry as an apostle to the Gentiles. 9 James, Peter and John, those reputed to be pillars, gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship when they recognized the grace given to me. They agreed that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the Jews.
OBSERVATION: Just as there are different members of the human body with each one doing an assigned part and all coordinated together to cause the body to function, so it is with the body of Christ. God has different assignments for different members. Peter and John were sent to minister to Jews; Paul and Barnabas were sent to minister to Gentiles. God was working through both ministries. God does not have us all in the same location doing the same thing.
APPLICATION: What we read in Galatians (about 50AD) can be easily seen in the church today (2026AD). I write these SOAPs, and others in the body of Christ forward them on the internet, or print them, or distribute the printed copies. God has different assignments for us.
Acknowledge and appreciate the special assignment God has given you. Use your gifts to fulfill your assignment to glorify God. Baking, sowing, babysitting, doing what enables someone else to live for God’s glory. Use your opportunities to give witness to the love and goodness of God in your life.
PRAYER: Lord, each of us are a part of your body. We are here to express your life where you have placed us. Shine through us. May people see you living in us, we pray. Amen
