The Lord uses small tools to perform large tasks.

The Mighty Toe

If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body," is it therefore not of the body? — 1 Corinthians 12:15
Recently, I heard of a sport that challenges my imagination — I can't comprehend why anyone would play it. It's called "Toe Wrestling." Every year, people from across the globe gather in England for the world championships.
Competitors sit on the ground facing each other and then lock the big toe of the other's bare foot. The object is to pin the opponent's foot in a manner similar to the way an arm wrestler pins a competitor's wrist. It sounds strange to me.


In a way, this unusual competition gives honour to a part of the body that's largely ignored — until we drop something on it. Our toes and feet are vital parts of our anatomy, yet we pay little attention to them unless they hurt.


Perhaps that's why Paul used the foot to remind us that there are no unimportant parts in the body of Christ. In 1 Corinthians 12:15, he said, "If the foot should say, 'Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,' is it therefore not of the body?" The only correct answer: "Of course it's part of the body."


Paul wants us to realize that each person in the body of Christ is important. Even if you think of yourself as the most overlooked and ignored member of the body of Christ, you have value. And you can honour God like a true champion by using your unique skills for God's glory. — Bill Crowder


God builds His church with different stones,
He makes each one belong;
All shapes and sizes fit in place
To make the structure strong. — Sper

“[A Third Time Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection] While Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside by themselves, and said to them on the way, “See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death; then they will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified; and on the third day he will be raised.”” -Matthew 20: 17-19
