No Room for Conceit: Year Two Day 245 Devotional

Passage: Romans 12-13
Psalm and Proverbs: Psalm 54

Romans 12:3-8

For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith. For just as we have many parts in one body and all the body’s parts do not have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually parts of one another. However, since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to use them properly: if prophecy, in proportion to one’s faith; if service, in the act of serving; or the one who teaches, in the act of teaching; or the one who exhorts, in the work of exhortation; the one who gives, with generosity; the one who is in leadership, with diligence; the one who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

No Christian should be conceited because no Christian can stand on their own. We need the body of Christ and God’s blessing through the spiritual gifts He gives to others. As Francis Schaeffer said, “Salvation is of individuals, but it is not individualistic.”

Father, thank You for the body of Christ, the church.

Psalm 54:4 (NASB)

Behold, God is my helper;
The Lord is the sustainer of my soul.
