Together we, you and I, are the house of God. Think about that for a second. Le this truth sink through for a few minutes and then ask yourself this question: "Am I doing anything that's compromising or damaging God's house?" Often times (too often), I find myself damaging God's house via pride. I take offense to people's comments sometimes because of pride. Not only does this mess with me (and my portion of God's house) but it also affects other people (and their portion of God's house). Through God's grace and help, I've been able to identify the areas in my life where pride has gotten a hold of and get rid of it. What is it for you? I find it cool how Paul adds adjectives to describe HOW things were done. In verse 21, Paul notes that we were CAREFULLY joined together in him. We were just thrown together, we were carefully put together. I picture God taking each of us and putting us in the exact place that we fit perfectly. You and I were placed in our spots for specific reasons, and for specific purposes. It's just so crazy to read this and think about sometimes I read through passages like this and totally miss out on some of the things that you can only notice if you read between the lines.
"Father, grant us a deeper appreciation for Your word. Reveal the hidden things that we don't see and give us understanding to apply them to our lives. Father You have done and continue to do so much for us. Thank You! Thank You for our friends, family, and most importantly for Jesus! We love You! It's in Jesus' name that I pray, amen!"
