Now as we have many parts in one body, and all the parts do not have the same function, in the same way we who are many are one body in Christ and individually members of one another. According to the grace given to us, we have different gifts... ROMANS 12:4–6a (HCSB)

THE BODY OF CHRIST 

And so it is in the body of Christ. For though we are many, we’ve all been mingled into one body in Christ. This means that we are all vitally joined to one another, with each contributing to the others.  ROMANS 12:5 (TPT) 

If you attended Sunday School growing up, the term ‘the body of Christ’ is not unfamiliar. However, as we grow up and are walking through the reality of life, it’s easy to forget that we are a part of a body of Christ. And more than that, that we each have a unique role to play.  

This week’s readings are intended to remind you that you are a part of the body of Christ, and that God has created you specially to play your unique role within that body. 

We hope you are encouraged but also that your passion and endurance are renewed knowing you are united in Christ with your fellow brothers and sister, all striving towards the same goal. To Shine Christ’s light to the world.

Now Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab’s anger was aroused against David, and he said, ‘Why did you come down here? And with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and the insolence of your heart, for you have come down to see the battle.‘  1 SAMUEL 17:28 (NKJV)

WALKING IN THE WILDERNESS 

A series by Heidi Wysman 

Mountaintops are fun but we can’t stay there forever. We’ve all got to go down into the valley and be led into the wilderness sooner or later. And most of us will go back to the wilderness many times. 

But the wilderness doesn’t have to be a frightening place. If you look only with your natural vision, the wilderness can seem an unlikely place to find God. But odd as it may seem to us, when we are most filled with the Holy Spirit, we are most likely to be led into the wilderness. The Spirit himself will lead us into the wilderness. He will never leave us while we are in the wilderness, and He will lead us out. 

Through this Bible plan, you’ll discover that the wilderness can be a place of beauty, a place of empowerment, a place where God is.

Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.  PROVERBS 3:5–6 (AMPC)

… Prepare in the wilderness the way of the Lord [clear away the obstacles]; make straight and smooth in the desert a highway for our God! Every valley shall be lifted and filled up, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the crooked and uneven shall be made straight and level, and the rough places a plain.  ISAIAH 40:3–4 (AMPC)

But the news about Him was spreading farther, and large crowds kept gathering to hear Him and to be healed of their illnesses. But Jesus Himself would often slip away to the wilderness and pray [in seclusion].   LUKE 5:15–16 (AMP)

This isn’t the neighborhood bully mocking me—I could take that. This isn’t a foreign devil spitting invective—I could tune that out. It’s you! We grew up together! You! My best friend! Those long hours of leisure as we walked arm in arm, God a third party to our conversation.  PSALM 55:12–14 (MSG)

APPROACHING CHALLENGING SITUATIONS 

We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. - Chuck Swindoll 

I don’t think anyone could say life is easy. It’s filled with twists and turns and unexpected tangents. Many times, these twists and turns are challenging. They have the ability to derail us and cause us to focus on the problem and our own issues rather than seek God in those situations.  

Through our readings on Challenging Situations our contributors will encourage us to shift our perspective when in the midst of challenging situations, and to remember that God is not overwhelmed, that He is with us and that He is in control. 

Our prayer is that when you face challenging situations in the future you will find rest and comfort in the arms of our Heavenly Father.

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. MATTHEW 11:28–30 (NIV)
