“But now God has arranged the parts, each one of them in the body, just as he desired.”

—1 Corinthians 12:18

This verse calms one of our greatest fears—the fear that we have no purpose and God cannot use us.

It reminds us that he created each of us just the way he meant to, and he is not going to abandon the work of his hands (Psalm 138:8). 

Sometimes we don’t seem to be accomplishing much at all, and it feels like maybe he has forgotten his work. But when we remember what the Word says—that he is never–changing and cannot lie—we are assured that he is faithful to complete his good work in us (Philippians 1:6).

The Lord knows the path each life needs to take. He knows all our weaknesses and failures. He doesn’t need us to be talented enough, skilled enough, or knowledgeable enough.

Moses wasn’t a good speaker (Exodus 4:10). Gideon wasn’t a natural leader (Judges 6:15). David committed adultery and murder (2 Samuel 11). Peter denied him (Luke 22:54–62). 

The Lord is going to fulfill a good purpose in and through us despite our lack of innate ability and even despite our sin as we repent and turn back to him in obedience.

The most purposeful thing we can do when don’t feel capable or when we fail is to run straight to God with our weaknesses. The creator knows what he made each of us for, and as we submit, he will accomplish it.
