Don’t be the Stubbed Toe in the Body of Christ.

Are YOU the Reason for the Pain?

I don’t know you, but I can’t be the only one who has ever stubbed my toe so hard that my whole body shuts down. And when that happens, you don’t say, “Well, at least my elbow feels great.” No. Your whole body reacts. One tiny part can hijack everything.

Paul says that’s exactly how the Body of Christ works. We are one body. Christ is the Head. And every one of us affects the whole. Which means you can be the peace in the Body… or you can be the stubbed toe. You can be the part that steadies the Body… or the part that makes everything limp.

So, Paul gives the command: “And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.” Colossians 3:15

Did you see the main point? “Let the peace of God rule in your hearts.” Not visit your heart. Not pass through your heart. Rule your heart. Because whatever rules your heart spills into the Body.

So how can you be more thankful? First, read the Bible. about the struggles of other Christians. Nothing creates perspective faster than remembering believers who face persecution or live with far less comfort. Perspective turns into gratitude.

Then take that gratitude and bring it into your heart. Ask yourself NOT what The Lord can do for you, but what you can do for HIM to show THANKS.

You’re part of the Body. So, you can be the stubbed toe… or you can be the peace.

Ephesians 1:13 gives a powerful promise: You are saved and securely sealed the very moment you hear and believe the word of truth the good news of your salvation.

That same message of truth is available to you right now:

“Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.” 1 Corinthians 15:3,4

Choose to believe this today. Life moves fast and there is no better time to find that security than right now.
