Imagine going out to eat dinner and walking into the restaurant only to discover that everyone who works there…is a chef. At first you might think, ‘hey, that’s really cool! I’ll never go hungry eating here.’ But, who would serve you? Who would order all the food so the chef didn’t run out? Who would keep the receipts and pay the bills? Who would wash the dishes and keep the tables cleared for the next customers?

Every person is vital to its success. Each with his or her own job responsibility has the opportunity to make the experience memorable for the good….or not so good. It’s not just what makes a good dining experience. It’s also key to the success of every workplace, church, organization…even family.

We are all unique. God made each one of us with different temperaments, talents and capabilities. We have experienced different things in our lifetime. We’ve stood atop different mountains of victory and we’ve slogged through different valleys of hardship and sorrow. God fits us together for a season to serve His people and share His love and light with the world.

Ephesians 4:16 (NLT) spells it out completely. “He (God) makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.” Teamwork is God’s design!
