1 Corinthians 12:22-25 The Weakest Parts 21 June 2024
1Co 12:22 What is more,
it is precisely the parts of the body
that seem to be the weakest
which are the indispensable ones.
23 It is the parts of the body
which we consider least dignified
that we surround with the greatest dignity;
and our less presentable parts
are given greater presentability
24 which our presentable parts do not need.
God has composed the body so
that greater dignity is given to the parts which were without it,
25 and so that there may not be disagreements inside the body
but each part may be equally concerned for all the others.

What could be the weakest parts in my church? What do I protect or hide? Usually my sins. And perhaps my sins relate to my talents, more than I would believe. For Satan attacks me in the area where I am weak and the most vulnerable.
Covering Or Protecting Weakness
Where am I vulnerable? My pride. I 'assume' that I hide it. My lusts. I 'assume' that I control them. My fears. I 'assume' that I do not have them.
Now, I should honor my faults and bring them in the Light.
Prayer
Jesus, I thank you for weaker parts.
