Behind the Scenes

Each Sunday morning our team meets for prayer before the service. I usually share a short devotion. This past Sunday I shared from I Corinthians 12... "God has placed the parts, each one of them, in the body just as He wanted."

I reminded our team that you can't see the most important parts of your body...your heart...your lungs...your brain, etc. They aren't visible to the eyes, but they are vitally important. And so it is with the body of Christ. Many of the most important people are those who are not in the spotlight...not the person leading worship...not the person teaching from stage. It's the people who serve quietly behind the scenes. It's the person who comes in during the week and gets crafts ready...it's the person quietly rocking the baby in the nursery...it's the person cleaning up after everyone has left...it's the person in the sound booth. Everyone has an important part to play and every role is vital. Let's encourage our team members this week with this thought.
